PowderRiverCowboy Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 7 hours ago, Pat Riot said: Well, I doubt that anyone posting in here thinks that all officers are represented by these memes. I know I don’t. One thing I learned very quickly in the military. If people do not like you they don’t tease you, rib you or bust your chops. This is all in good fun. Nothing serious is meant by it. Well I did have this one Butterbar (actually a good one ) when I went back Army years later . He was born in Olongapo the year after i was there . We were BS'ing in the office when I asked when he was born and what town . So I stated well you could be , 2LT " Could be what ?" Me; My kid I was in Olongapo before then 2LT: Shut the heck up The whole room laughing 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 On 2/18/2024 at 5:12 AM, Pat Riot said: I'm the odd man out. Did 20 years in Naval Aviation and when I retired my Sea Duty Counter was 0000. Didn't plan it that way, just how it worked out. My first sea tour was with an EW aggressor squadron, VAQ-34 out of NAS Point Muga Ca and NAS Lemoore Ca. (We did a home port change when we transitioned from the ERA-3B and EA-7L to the FA-18) We deployed a lot training the fleet in anti-ship missile defense techniques. My second sea tour was with VQ-1 (EP-3E) out of NAS Whidbey Island Wa. Deployed to Japan/Okinawa and Bahrain. My last tour in the Navy was with a Fleet Introduction Team out of the old NAC Indianapolis at first with a home port change to NAWS China Lake. For a shore tour I spent more time on the road than I was at home. BTW I have a lot of respect for those that were "Haze Gray and Under Way". 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
