Dude, you rock!

You know, me being an Air Force vet I tried to steer him in that direction. Some folks here locally even took him into a flight and boom pod refueling simulator, yet he still chose the Navy. But I guess he still had some Air Force blood in him after all because he chose air traffic control as his career. How ironic is that!

I know how USAF and USN air traffic control works, but I don’t quite understand how the Navy does it at sea. I mentioned to someone else, that I never encouraged my son to go in, but he wanted to be a USAF pilot, so he went to OTS, got a commission, and then on to pilot training. He got bit by the aviation bug, and now, all he wants to do, is fly. 👍
