I wish I was retired from the USN. I only did 6 years.
I figured I'd better get out before they throw me in the brig.

Happy for you Astro. Glad you got to finish with a smile.
And
This RM1(SS) Salutes you sir.
Big smile. Thank YOU Sir!

Did you keep criticizing them for using oils that were too thin in the turbines?

Congratulations and thank you for your service to our great nation

Now, since you've seen it all ,
are you:
-going to look at the sky more?
-take your wife some place nice/quiet?
-open up one of the cars and make it new again?
-stay with us more on BITOG?
-drink more wine?
-teach more flight-ers?
-learn new skill?
-visit sleddriver and volvobrick to talk about volvo's and construct wood furniture?
-...
Those are all excellent suggestions and closer to the truth than you might have guessed. My wife and spent 10 days in London together just last month. And I bought the Tundra to be able to move the '32 Packard closer so that it can get the attention that it deserves...
Glad i could bring a smile...
even if i bet they where some tears when your old friends meet you from across the world....

At our change of command today in VA and turned over my duties as CMC.
And flying United home Sunday
Thank you for your service!
Awesome!
We may have met in that other life and never known...
I was genuinely honored that my former SEL/CMCs made a couple of long treks to be there for me. That meant the world to me.
As you look back, you wonder if you made a difference, if you were a good leader. Honestly, just having those guys and gals there helped put me a bit more at ease about that question...
Amen. My ceremony is in June and I hate to think of it.
I miss my squadron days as an AN at VA-34, Oceana NAS, 1992-1994 and maiden voyage on the USS GW
