Guess I’ll be the first to tell you, John—ACM can only go on a pylon, won’t fit on a CSRL in the bomb bay.

And welcome to the soap opera “Marriages of the Young.”  I would say young and stupid, but I’ve had leading roles in that soap opera twice and don’t want to cast myself in that role anymore.  Cheer up, he’s smart enough to pick your daughter.

And DB, I can just about guarantee it was target-arms, Minot always used a pair of RN patch wearers for weapons preflights, call sign “Ogre”, short for OG.  Blame will be spread around, but I’m sure there is plenty of blame to cover the toast.

James, that’s great news about your father, hope the rebound keeps going.  As far as double wing commander jobs, it’s usually because they are too young for BG by the time their initial command job is up, and it’s tough to work them into staff when they are coming off the wing king job, so they give them the same job at top wings until they are in synch with their year group for general-ship.

Cheers to all (man, it’s great hearing from everyone!)

Jim
