Sorry to jump in when the reply wasn't addressed to me (but when did that ever stop a Navy-man). I wasn't GATOR Navy, but did my more than full share of "staff" (Making a bunch of idiot "O's" look good in front of the Admiral) and did a "Bird-farm" tour and a CG (best tour I ever had!). Have spent time in every "warare" specialty the Navy has... Surace, Air, Subsurface, & Special.
Welcome aboard the thread!
Got me beat...I was air than surface. Which came first, bubblehead or airdale? I could see where you might want some fresh air.
