Doesn't MENSA require proper spelling?
Naval aviation sure as hell doesn't. If it weren't for a blanket waiver (not waver) covering homonym misuse and greengrocer apostrophes mistakes (not mistake's) then this would be a much more exclusive club. :p

Going to claim seniority (AW, rank and age) and forgo a review of this long thread. Need recommendations for a good place to have cuffs and waist band replaced. Since I will be shipping hoping for a place that looks like it will weather the next several weeks of the 'rona economy.

LeatherCareUSA. I had my jacket rehabilitated by them and they did fantastic work. You can find them at leathercareusa.com

What kind of progressive lenses did you get?
I have no idea...but I think they’re the same kind of progressive lenses that I’ve had for the past three years.

Also, I didn’t go with the Calvin Klein “smart guy” frames...I elected to keep my old Polo frames and will have the new lenses installed in those. The wife unit thought I looked “stupider” in the Calvin Klein “smart guy” frames.

I'll be curious how progressives work on the flight deck.
