Use S-J page in MFD. Select desired tanks, Master Arm on and pickle. This is explained in detail in the BMS 2 Manual.pdf, para 6.9 or in the AF Manual page 388. Not a dumb question...

Page 328 of the AF manual also talks about the Emergency Jettison. Push and hold to jettison ALL A-G stores, including tanks. This is for emergencies only, so I find it handy when I've been jumped and need to make a quick escape, without the time to select individual stores.
Only dead fish go with the flow.

LOL, I had to look that up: Admiral’s Doorbell The yellow button in an F/A-18 cockpit that jettisons all the external stores in an emergency. If you hit it, you’ll be “ringing the admiral's doorbell” to explain why.

Well, you can do this in the Viper also as long as you toggle the Jett Enable switches and in a pinch, hit the magic button on the right side of the pit. It dumps all external non-AtoA stores though including tanks.

Whose doorbell you're ringing if you do this in an air force jet? I'd rather drop the bombs normally than jettisoning them. It's faster that way (for me at least; the whole jettison procedure is too complicated to do when I'm panicking).
