More recommended reading. NORTH SAR by Gerry Carroll - Great book about Combat SAR H-3 pilots in the Viet Nam War. Also highly recommend Ghostrider ONE by Carroll as well, this is a story about A-4 pilots early in the Viet Nam War. Carroll writes as someone who has been there and uses great...

Does anyone still have a copy of the email that a SNA sent to the 1 Star in charge of Naval Aviation at Millington requesting VR orders? This got mentioned the other day and some in my squadron had never heard of this email. Thanks

by definition every UAV squadron is very little flight time... If you sitting at your desk "flying" and you skipper can still walk up and task you, then you aren't flying.

Anyone know anything about Oakley's offering great deals to military folks for glasses? I've heard folks talk about it, but no one seems to know a phone number of web address for this deal?

Even since they took your PRT score off the FitRep (early 90's) who cares how many push-ups you can do? P/WS is they only thing that matters. Then again, if you drink enough beers and you get a belly, you won't have to break 90 degrees and have your belly touch...
