Who's Ann?

I've got to hand it to the Naval aviators.

Anyone who can land a jet, or any aircraft, on a pitching deck has my respect.

I'm not sure how it is now, but in the old days, aviators were in the Brown Shoe Navy.

Semper Fi!

Grady and Lava,

First, thank you very much for your kind words Second, and more importantly, you guys both did something I could never have acomplished. Grady, a US Marine... well, nothing else needs to be said; I never would have made it. And Lava, a Cop!? I commend you for your public service I don't have the discipline nor the patience. I have the utmost of respect for both of you gentleman.

Thanks, Paul.

Next to Corpsmen, the aviators are our favorite sailors.
