Mav: Don't worry, I'll build up an immunity! Ice: YOU CAN'T BUILD AN IMMUNITY TO SHATTERED BONES, PETE!

I don't think Mav would ever tell Bradley why he pulled his papers.
(Partially because I think Carole's promise was just an excuse to give into Mav's own fears, but that's a thought for another post...)
I think he'd tell him how afraid for Bradley he was, how he knew firsthand you could be the best of the best and accidents still happened, there were still people who would not give you the same trust in the air, who would not sacrifice as much as you were willing to. That he's been in the Navy for years by the point Bradley applied for the academy and he's seen what kind of people mostly thrive in there and what kind of people wilt and he didn't want Bradley to become either.
I think Mav kept Carole's image as clear as possible in Bradley's head and he'd try to not 'stain' her memory for him. Even if he said Carole was afraid for Bradley to fly, he'd never tell him the whole truth about her making Mav promise to keep him from flying. Rather, I think he'd take on some of her fears as his own and confess to them as the reason why he did what he did and take the blame.

Bring your grandpa/dad to work day, but Jake got attached to this old man named Tom.
Tom was some old guy he snarked off at a coffee shop once and was pleased when the older man calmly gave a witty retort.
He keeps on bumping into the man in the same coffee shop, but he bumps into the old man at the park and grocery place at well.
Surprisingly they hit it off, and Jake looks forward to seeing Tom even though he'll never admit it. Tom's getting fond of the boy. Especially when he realized 3 months in that this was the same Jake "Hangman" Seresin who saved his husband and Baby Goose.
One day there was a bring your dad/grandpa/son to work day. Jake was talking about it to Tom, sad that he doesn't really have anyone to bring and was planning to call out because even tho Mav is great and Javy's family always welcome him, he feels like an outsider in those events. Tom hesitantly offered to come, not wanting to overstep, and Jake looked overjoyed.
Tom comes to the event and Jake was showing him around the base, and the shenanigans he gets into with his squad (Tom is delighted to gain some more blackmail against Mav). He also starts introducing Tom around, and some people are staring wide-eyed or straight up choke when they see Tom.
Why the fuck is the COMPACFLT here and in civvies!??? AND HANGMAN IS CALLING HIM, TOM???
Iceman makes sure to give his trademark glare to everyone who even thinks about mentioning his title or saying something to Jake. Everyone just snaps their mouths shut and smiles awkwardly.
It continues with Jake dragging THE ICEMAN around like an excited puppy, and Tom looking fond and ruffles Hangman's hair every few minutes. The base didn't realize how young Hangman really is until that day.
Eventually Tom and Jake run into Mav and Bradley and both have their mouths wide open as Jake introduces Tom to them.
Eventually ends with Mav saying, "Hey! I adopted him first!" While pouting.
"He takes after me more," Ice says giving Mav a grin as he slung an arm around Jake's shoulder to pull him against his side.

Iceman: why are there little handprints all over the walls?
Mav, whispering: why are there little handprints all over the walls?
Bradley, whispering: because I have little hands.
Maverick: because he has little hands

Thinking about supportive military parents icemav and Maverick insisting that their child(ren) use Kazansky as their last name instead of Mitchell or the hypheated Kazansky-Mitchell/Mitchell-Kazansky, 'cause he doesn't want them to miss out on opportunities like he did just because of his name...

▸ MAVERICK & BRADLEY
"That every time he’s stood in front of his father’s grave, it hasn’t been Goose that he’s been thinking of. Goose didn’t teach him how to shave, how to drive, or how to throw a baseball; he never got the chance to. Bradley doesn’t remember anything that his Dad taught him, because Maverick didn’t just teach him to shave and to drive and to throw- he also taught him who Goose was at all. Whenever he thinks back on Mom, it’s her, and like it or not, when he thinks back on Dad- whatever that misty little concept is- it’s been Maverick." ― @actuallyitsstar // time takes no prisoners (you'll see)

A sitcom-like/humour fic AU where Bradley's papers haven't been pulled and he does land in USNA but he's doing everything and anything not to be labeled as the nepo baby even though he definitely is a nepo baby
This would include:
- Bradley knowing things he isn't supposed to know as a first year (plebe?) because he had inside sources (Ice and Slider) and things didn't change much
- Every single person from the personnel knowing who he is and Bradley ditching attempts to use him as a stepping ladder to meet Ice and/or Mav
- Having to listen to his crush (Hangman) making whole odes about his old man (either Mav or Ice, you pick)
- Pretending he doesn't know Slider when he comes to visit as a 'guest speaker', including when Slider tries to speaks to him, making Slider seem crazy
- Lying to everyone that he had a family emergency and that's why he was gone the last two weeks of summer training when in reality Ice pulled him out because he wanted to take him and Mav to the seaside somewhere in Europe
- When they get an opportunity to get a pilot licence along their studies, he fakes ignorance and signs up again (despite already having a pilot licence) and then demolishes everyone and gets banned from flying in the training group (*cough* Mav's influence *cough*)
- Doing the craziest mental summersaults and pretending he didn't know who Ice was when he was driving him back to the Academy and talking to him at the meet point and people saw ("Oh was that Admiral Kazansky? I thought he'd be taller")
- Hangman: So what your parents do for a living? Rooster: My dad works admin (there's a lot of paperwork when you're an admiral) and the other one is switching to research (testing planes kinda is research)
- After Ice's impromptu visit (poor Ice has the empty nest syndrome...) - some of his classmates gossiping: Did you hear that apparently the Iceman is gay? Bradley, with a fake pikachu face, even though he had literally helped Mav choose the engagement ring for Ice: Nah, not possible.
- Also, Bradley knowing that telling Jake would impress him so much but feeling absolutely physically ill whenever he thinks why and ending up not telling Jake for years (like, up until a dinner before graduation when Jake the Boyfriend gets asked to dinner and brings the Iceman a discounted pot plant that's half dying as the meet-the-parents gift and promptly has an anxiety attack on the front porch when Bradley does tell him)
- Bradley making elaborate excuses why Mav and Ice can't meet his academy friends when they're staying close to their home, to the point Mav starts thinking he's embarrassed by them
There was something else that I'm forgetting rn so might add more later

Jake always had to be Hangman in front of the brass and the higher ups, he's always prepared and composed when at work. But, he got soft around Mav, the Dagger Squad, and even Cyclone and Warlock. They see Jake, he lets his guard down around them. So, when Mav invites him for a BBQ, he only expected the Daggers, Mav, Cyclone, Warlock, and maybe the mysterious husband Mav has.
But holy shit, Mav invited the Top Gun legendary class of '86, which consists of current and former high-ranking Navy officers. Including THE COMPACFLT, ICEMAN. Who is Mav's husband. All the Daggers are having fun mingling around and talking to others, but Jake was thrown off.
He was expecting a casual event, he didn't think a bunch of his superiors were here. He never had to interact with his superiors without any prep. Jake awkwardly hanged out at the edges or stuck close to Mav, Cyclone, or even Bradley because he suddenly lost all social skills because fuckfuckfuck his hair wasn't combed, he wasn't in uniform, and his clothes aren't even halfway decent. He's not Hangman and it’s only recently he’s gotten used to being Jake around the Dagger Squad. He was shy and only spoke when spoken too and only started to loosen up when he was primarily surrounded by the Daggers.
Although, when he was hanging by Cyclone, the class of '86 asked Cyclone if Jake was his son, which made Jake flush and look at Cyclone worriedly, afraid that he would be offended. He wasn't. He was flattered.
Mav was confused and worried about Jake's recluseness, but decided to wait until later to confront him about it.
Ice was confused because Hangman was quite far from what the rumors say or even what Mav says. (Later on he realizes that Jake was similar to him. Separating Hangman and Jake like how he separates Iceman and Tom/Ice).

*on comms during a training exercise*
Rooster: DADS, HELP!
Iceman: Don't worry Bradley, Mav's on his way, but you need to tell us your location.
Maverick: What are your coordinates, Baby Goose?
Rooster: I'm by a cloud that looks like a lion.
Iceman: Can you be more specific?
Rooster: Simba.
