Pukin my man, you forget that I am a Naval Academy Graduate. Those were my boys. I was a purple (joint) ops guy before being purple was cool. I will say, however, that the only time I don't cheer for the AFA football team is when they play Navy. And after over a decade of watching them trounce Navy, it has been kind of nice to see Navy take the Commander in Chiefs trophy the last couple years.
Speaking of being purple, I'm half way through my first month of line ops in the MD-11. The nice thing about FedEx is that you definitely see the world. The other nice thing, is that when you prang a FedEx heavy onto the runway you don't have to listen to the passengers and a bunch of gay flight attendants give you grief.
Well, glad to see you didn't leave, Pukin Dog! I stuck my head in FR for a little bit this morning and was surprised somewhat. I just happened on your 'parting shots' post. Must have been at the top of the browse list at the time.
Someone had added a keyword OPUS to that particular thread. Others may search on that keyword, I don't know. But, I think that's why some thought you were leaving.
Anyway - I didn't want to believe you were leaving, after the post from last weekend (see below link). I haven't been too active this week, myself, so I wasn't sure what was up.
Have a good weekend, Pukin Dog! See you around FR!
