And if it wasn't for all the people, helicopters and vehicles in the area, it would have been nice to be "lost" in a "jungle" in Hawaii!

^^ Ditto, lmao. I'm sure the off-azimuth retired posture has nothing to do with knees & spine that don't work the way as originally issued.

My very good friend’s son just today got his first choice of platform to fly for the Navy...E2s !

The garage bar saw a few toasts.

He’s an incredible kid.

Thank you Badger.

His sister just completed her 2nd year at USNA and she signs her “2 for 7” documents next week. Essentially, memorializing her commitment for the next two years at the Academy and acknowledging her service obligation afterwards. Her parents will be there for the ceremony. Very proud. Hell, I’m very proud !

Those two young people provide hope and many a good discussion around the holiday dinner table - I’ll say it again - incredible kids !

Thank you.

Need 'em all. Contrasted with the happy thought of simple retirement pleasures; like getting your grocery shopping done in the early AM and on a day before the EBTs get filled up again...

Going to Europe for 15 days for a well deserved vacation. Leaving tomorrow. Amsterdam, Cologne, Frankfurt, Heidelberg and Stuttgart. Going to visit my old stomping grounds.
