Damn, this hits close to home. My prayers are with the family and friends.
Wow the Major is literally from my hometown- I'm the next zipcode over. Prayers to all involved.
Thoughts and prayers, and may the 12 inch rod, always be known as the "Yaggy Rod"

Nice. I'd forgotten about that. This whole thing sucks right now, but nice job making me laugh.
way to ruin a dick joke offered in memory of the lost with systems knowledge.... besides even if my "fuel system" rod is really 11 inches, I will probably refer to it as being 12, maybe 13 inches...
The Yaggy rod. HA. His on-wing told us about that at our tie cutting "you know what they call that Ensign?"
"The 11-inch rod sir?"
"No, thats the Yaggy rod."
So classic, I briefed with him once didn't get to fly because of weather, I was scared going into the brief but was really bummed we were canceled after the day was done. That guy cared about students in a way I have seen in very few instructors.

Yeah, same with me briefed a form flight then it got cx. I do remember a tie cutting with him and his onwing, where the stud was getting into him, "Now that made me think... the Yaggy rod...is it called that because of the length or because of the girth." It was pretty funny.
Prayers and condolences to the families. Both guys will be missed. I had the pleasure of flying with Maj Yaggy on several occassions. I had some good conversations with him flying lead on the painfully boring B/R's during forms. As for those of you who didn't have the honor to meet AJ, I can tell you (from being his rack mate at OCS) he was a solid guy as well. He was a great friend and stand-up Marine. RIP
A trust fund for Maj Yaggy's daughter has been established for her future education. Here is the info for it, courtesy of the Pensacola News Journal:

They've asked for contributions to the fund in lieu of flowers. The generosity of members of the military - both past and present - towards the families of those who've passed never ceases to amaze me.
