At the risk of sounding cocky, I still got it!!! did my carrier quals last week, 3 wire everytime. It has been so nice being back in the 'pit. Goin mach 1, doin loops, dives, rolls, can't wait till next week, get to hit the bombing range!!! That will be the true test.
The wife is doing fine she is about 12 weeks or so ( I think, it's been kinda hectic for me) Already have the unborn tikes room dressed up in the Corps colors. LOL. Amazing, I fly an F-18 by the seat of my pants, and the thought of being a dad still scares the **** out of me. LOL. Well it's off to a wettin' down party. Take care guys, will talk to you soon.

Yeah! We want pics! Of a night trap......in the rain......where you can barely see the meatball.......and the deck is heaving.......and even the LSO's are getting seasick. Pics!

And congrats on moving back into the fun seat, and on the new little tax deduction on the way.

you fly F-18s. I think your allowed to be cocky. At least to a bunch of guys on a gun board.

I've driven a 24 foot box truck with a manual tranny once! yeah it doesn't have the same ring. I got to drive a bocat for about 5 minutes once too... yeah still doesn't come close.

hahahhaha. That's funny stuff. I agree though, I kinda like driving around one of our big boom lifts at work. Capable of lifting like 12k pounds and the thing is like a tank.... can be up to the axels in mud and still keep trudgin' along while moving a unit of lumber. Awesome, yes, but not as awesome as flying F18s

I'll take what I can get
