It's cool the small world that we live in. I was stationed on the rock working out of the air ops facilities before this ship.
I am going to miss the prowlers when they are gone. there is no other experience like standing next to a prowler in tension or in your case under and having that teeth rattling, filling destroying, ear ringing, feeling from that experience.

Yup... Then you know exactly what I mean... I know it's permanent ringing in the ears from that job, but you can say you did it. You can say you slid down the non-skid pushed by the exhaust of one of the most powerful jet blasts...
