I’m a career military officer. Glad to be here.
I’d like to say congrats to my LGBTQ friends on yesterday’s SCOTUS ruling, and black lives matter.

13It dates back to the F-100, but flew standard on F-14, F-15, F-16, F/A-18, and F-22. From the standpoint of age, I thought it was a safe bet.

14My father and father-in-law served in the Navy. One survived three helicopter crashes. The other served in Vietnam. All things being equal, I'd rather be in Philadelphia.

17What'd ya fly?
I ask as my almost son-in-law, aka 'daughter's former beloved', after completing a tour with the Marine Corps Reserves (Sergeant) to pay for and graduate college, enlisted again, this time in the Navy, attended OTC in Rhode Island, where he qualified for aviation, and is now a Naval Aviator flying something with teeth. Lots of teeth.
I enjoyed the benefit of his teaching me to accurately shoot a rifle.

Real pilots fly Orions.
Seriously, you shoot handguns? Rifles? Scatterguns? Inquiring minds want to know....
