Amen, brother...
Speaking of Lex (the CV-16 Lex), anybody on here a Lexington centurion after 1989? That's when I became one, and I'm wondering if that makes me the last wooden deck centurion? My hunch is there may be one or two more who earned it prior to her decom in late 1991. My traps were 4 in the T-2 and 96 in the A4 (including 20 in the single seat A4E). The boss let me run the deck on my last CQ lead safe so I could hit 100. Unfortunately, the ship's store didn't have centurion patches.
