Page 4Not to rehash the old argument but technically the Navy doesn't 'reactivate' squadrons, once they are disestablished a squadron is gone for good officially unlike the other services.

VAQ-134 has been an EXPED squadron since they started the Growler transition this past Summer. None of this stuff is a surprise, and they'll probably stand another CVW up once FORD is thrown into the mix.

Wouldn't surprise me, time will tell.I think I read a quote from one of the Powers That Be to the effect that since one boat was always going to be in RCOH or major mx avail, nine CAGs was all we needed for the foreseeable future, even once we've got 10 boats available again.
still have a few friends in -15……..sad to see my alma mater go away. I was thinking the other day, I wonder what happens to all the random shit from a ready room/squadron when they stand down? I know there is a lot of history in the cruise boxes laying around……..as PAO, I remember finding an old squadron logbook, with a crazy entry in the Lebanon airstrike timeframe "CAG shot down in 307, CSAR launched" or something. There was also the ADB from the jet Suge Wise died in during AWF. Lots of things that probably shouldn't end up in a dumpster.
Apparently there are conex boxes full of stuff like that, including the extra coffee grinder you guys never used on cruise. Fact is, no one knows the exact answer...I'm sure the archive doesn't want our beer die table.still have a few friends in -15……..sad to see my alma mater go away.

Consider getting in touch with National Museum of Naval Aviation or your local Officer's club. I'm sure there is a good home at one of those places for a lot of the memorabilia.
Provided your Wardroom votes for it, you could always auction the stuff off (maybe on eBay?) as a fundraiser and then donate the cash to MWR.
I'm pretty sure the museum in Pensacola got most HSL-51's plaques, etc. when we transitioned to HSM-51. There are definitely outlets eager to take all the historically significant items that are laying around.
