From the oldest and most senior Naval Aviator on this site to the future Naval Aviator (as opposed to just plain pilot of the other Services) I offer my sincere congratulations! Time to go to work, and time to train to be a warrior. The country needs you--very badly. Admiral Phil
Gene fantastic, two Naval officers, from San Antonio. I guess they got tired of all that dry land.
Phil,
Your comment reminded me of a feeling we had as "Ground Pounders" in the jungles in the '60s.
If you call for "close Air Support" and can see the Plane it is courtesy of the Air Force.
If you can see the Pilot, your support is courtesy of the Navy.
If you have to hug the ground it is your fellow Marine.
