I was with the Marine Corps Air Wing. VFMA-531, VMA-214 and VMFA 323. I worked mostly on F-4's and A-4's. Hearing the stories above brought back a few memories. I lost good friends over there. It's because of them I feel I have to earn the life I live...for them!

I sincerely appreciate our vets. I had an opportunity to sit on oral boards when they came through our hiring process. I was always impressed with their deameanor and committment. Several of them got the nod and have worked out well. Some of them were even Navy vets. I always loved to give them a hard time...in jest of course.

Freespool - What's a twidget? I learned about them in my "A" school in NATTC Memphis.
