You'll have to wait until after you get your wings and head to SERE school...if you're in A-pool, time to update your profile (Charleston?).

Profile updated. I was in Charleston while I was a Mid in NROTC at The Citadel.

I don't think he's on here, a former S-3 NFO. He'll definitely be pumped about this shot, although it's a shame they got him on the T&G and not a hook down pass.

Were you able to trunk that flight and get some sweet video? ... on the
Commodore's approval of course...

I was going to... until after that first day. I finished up on Thursday (after having NO sleep the night before, thanks to the ship's "music" and anticipation of the next day) and was suppose to fly out Friday afternoon (until the daily thunderstorms hit), and didn't want to trunk a lead-safe for 3+ hours (I had already destroyed two shirts with sweat, not to mention the reak coming off my flightsuit). I gave my video camera to one of the SDO's, so hopefully they got shots of us landing, from the deck and also Vulture's Row. I posted some pics I took in the Constantly Changing Picture Gallery, and I don't know if the mods can copy that post and put it here, but if not, I'll put those pics here as well when I get home today.

Here is my contribution, hopefully others will have more (preferably action shots).

Nice pics. Congrats to the new hookers if any of you are on here.
