Good job Don. So he is going to be flight deck on a Carrier? Yikes, that will be exciting. Hopefully not too exciting. Best of luck to the new recruit.

I remember Ty from our one dinner together. He seems destined to be a fine man, in part because of his parents.

Congratulations.
We joined the navy to see the world
And what did we see? We saw the sea
We saw the Pacific and the Atlantic
But the Atlantic isn't romantic
And the Pacific isn't what it's cracked up to be

That is one impressive looking airman.
For what it's worth, I never regretted joining the Army right out of high school. Well, there was that time with that one drill sergeant, but on balance it was a very positive experience. It taught me a lot about discipline, working well with people, the nature of comradeship, and a lot of other things that helped me immeasurably in later life. Plus the pride of having worn the cloth of my country.
Godspeed, Airman Clark.

Poor form to call anyone in the Navy "Airman." |

Nope, at this point he is Naval Recruit Clark. The word "Airman" is applied only to enlisted men and women in the Air Force. Florida Ken, help me out here! |
