Again, Thank you for all the kind words! It's our honor to serve! I grew up(my young years in the navy) on that flight deck and still get the kicks after 20 years!

And we need each and EVERY branch to do the job.

It struck me once watching a B-1 going vertical right over our heads at an airshow that jets are the real "big boy toys". 0-148 in 2 seconds kinda makes cars seem puny.
Thanks again for sharing and please pass on my thanks to your fellow crewmen.

Great shots Mike. What squadron are you in?
I spent 6 years in the Navy in two F/A-18 squadrons. I was in VFA192 and VFA97. I was an AT Troubleshooter and spent typically 12-14 hors a day on the deck when we were at sea. I had a great time and miss the adrenaline rush some times. I posted 1 pic of us working on the deck. Keep your head on a swivel and return home safe!

Mike: thank you and your family for the job you do. As an old HMCSW serving with the fleet and FMF I remain amazed by the support and strength of the family at home. Get in touch if you are ever in the Pacific Northwest.
