Awesome! 50 years ago my parents had just recently gotten back from their honeymoon, and would start thinking about starting a family in another 2 years or so...  |

Well the Air Force kicked me out 27 years ago (not really, I was part of a 200,000 man draw-down). But I had to stay on inactive reserve for 17.5 more. Not that they were ever going to call me back. But then they forgot me, and I only got my Honorable Discharge certificate a few years ago. I had to be one of the oldest captains still on the books. Best job I ever had. (I still have my service dress uniform with ribbons, but it shrunk)  |

Feb 2014 I went in 50 years ago. Feb 2018 I was out 50 years ago. There was a certain rush from working the flight deck of an Aircraft Carrier. The Best rush was catapult shots and arrested landings. Course I were a LOT younger then!  Thanks to All who have served. None of us here gittin any younger quickly. RIDE SAFE. |

50 years ago, we had just moved to Key West. We were getting settled in Navy housing and I was getting ready to start high school, but mostly in the water everyday with my new snorkeling gear exploring. Life was good.
