Please correct my title. I am trying to build a table of honor for the ARMY and left the word ‘NAVY’ in there. Those guys are smart enough to figure it out, but I hope the title can just be changed. Thank you.

I was an AT-2 in the Navy, and had an aircrew billet in the squadron I use as my sign-on. I’m also a lover of history, and as such I believe the bravest naval aviators in our country’s history were the Army Air Corps crews Commanded by Jimmy Doolittle, who flew B-25’s off the USS Hornet in 1942 to bomb Tokyo and crash land or parachute in China (out of fuel).I’ll always remove my hat, and/or raise a glass to those men. I’ll always wonder if we as a nation are worthy of their legacy.

We had some good Navy jokes when I was Army. Trying to remember one now, but I guess I’m getting old.

I was Navy long before I was Army. Navy, 4 years enlisted. Army, 16 years officer.

But, I don’t really care about being included in a table.

...just say’en...

...I was in the Army’s Navy.

At Ft Eustis, trained as a coxswain on a variety of Army vessels. Then assigned to Mare Island California to the NIOTC school for PBR training. Then RVN. Now retired with 26 years of service.

Good luck with your project👍

We have anonymous monikers. Why would we want to have our names on a public list?

It’ll be easier to maintain if you make the table your FR profile.
