BZ Commander.
What squadron? What time frame?
I was with VQ-1 Det Bravo, Danang from April-December '68.
Flew C-121 Super Connies and A-3's. The VQ birds were out of Atsugi, Japan. We (The "Big Look" Spooks) were all out of NCS San Miguel, PI and Kami Seya, Japan.
We lost our fair share due to mortar attacks, shoot-downs, and crashes, but for the most part, we all made it back.
Regardless of the election outcome, John Kerry will never be my CINC. I won't stand when he enters the room, I won't salute him, I won't shake his hand. Hell, I wouldn't walk across the street to piss on him if he was on fire!!!!!
Jeremiah Denton, however, I would follow to the back of beyond.
