welcome again; former usn myself, ADR-3, served in VP squadrons both reserve and active; deployed Cuba during missile crisis; spent most time at NAAS Kingsville and Pax, and a little at Anacostia when the main runway was still operative. 6 years total reserve & active...It was either that or the army back in those days.

Cool, I didn't set foot on a ship the whole time I was in the navy. I toured a PRC WWII era tin can in Shanghai later, but that doesn't count.
