There usually is in the Med, CMDR. If through rotation and not in Med, there is a boomer in the Atlantic. They need not be next door with their systems. The Tridents are why I've always slept well throughout the "cold war" while being aviation/surface Navy.
Thank you for your long service in our Air Force. Your branch has a long and admirable history starting from the Army Air Corps. You fly boys killed the Nazis and lost many many during that air war. You guys saved many of ground troops throughout many conflicts. The high ground is everything!
Glad to hear the Air Force is keeping the A-10. Please let me know who made that decision.
Someone with a functioning brain cell I would suspect.
I was having a little friendly discussion (and it was friendly) with some Marines, who didn't think the Air Force was a real branch of the armed Forces. I asked, who saved the Marine's bacon at Khe Sanh? They had to admit, it was primarily USAF fast movers, mostly F-4s. I had a lot of respect for those Marines too.
