Kneeboards for F/A-18C Hornet for guided weapon employment, and other weapons.
These are not official procedures, just what I've put together as a quick reminder on how to employ various guided weapons on the F/A-18C (after not flying it for a while). Kneeboards included:

============================================
Update 9/9/2023: After reviewing all of my JDAM-related employment procedures, I've revised all of my JDAM-related kneeboards, some with minor updates, some more significant. Here's the summary:
Replaced the following kneeboard:
FA-18C - GBU-38 JDAM TOO TPOD-A.png
with these two kneeboard pages:
FA-18C - GBU-38 JDAM TOO TPOD-A-1.png
FA-18C - GBU-38 JDAM TOO TPOD-A-2.png
These now incorporate either dropping JDAMs individually while observing in the ATFLIR TPOD (8 bombs max), or rippling multiple JDAMS (4 bombs max) with a single press/hold. NOTE: Please replace the single page above with the two new pages.
Replaced the following kneeboard:
FA-18C - GBU-38 JDAM TOO TPOD-L.png
with these two kneeboard pages:
FA-18C - GBU-38 JDAM TOO TPOD-L-1.png
FA-18C - GBU-38 JDAM TOO TPOD-L-2.png
These now incorporate either dropping JDAMs individually while observing in the LITENING TPOD (8 bombs max), or rippling multiple JDAMS (4 bombs max) with a single press/hold. NOTE: Please replace the single page above with the two new pages.
Replaced the following kneeboard:
FA-18C - GBU-38 JDAM PRE-PLANNED.png
with these two kneeboard pages:
FA-18C - GBU-38 JDAM PRE-PLANNED-1.png
FA-18C - GBU-38 JDAM PRE-PLANNED-2.png
These now incorporate either dropping JDAMs individually or rippling multiple JDAMS (4 bombs max) with a single press/hold. NOTE: Please replace the single page above with the two new pages.
Updated the following kneeboards:
FA-18C - SEMI-RIPPLE GBU-38 JDAM TOO TPOD-A.png
FA-18C - SEMI-RIPPLE GBU-38 JDAM TOO TPOD-L.png
Very minor update, adding "w/Mark Points" to the title/heading to indicate that this method of individually employing JDAMS is via creating/selecting mark points for each target (up to 8 bombs max)
============================================
Update 8/20/2023: Added the following kneeboard:
FA-18C - GBU-38 JDAM PRE-PLANNED.png
Given the new F10 map feature (i.e. left-Alt / left-mouse-click) which brings up a coordinates dialog box for that map position just clicked (and remains when you shift back to cockpit view), it's now even easier to use pre-planned mode for JDAM and JSOW weapons. This kneeboard is for JDAMs, but the procedure is basically identical for using JSOWS in pre-planned mode.
============================================
Update: 3/9/2022; Minor update to FA-18C - JHMCS FOR AG WITH TPOD kneeboard. Added the FA-18C - SEMI-RIPPLE GBU-38 JDAM TOO TPOD-A and FA-18C - SEMI-RIPPLE GBU-38 JDAM TOO TPOD-L kneeboards, which show how to semi-ripple multiple JDAMs in one pass with the ATFLIR or Litening TPOD, respectively.
