    I can relate to how you feel cause I felt it when I was in The Corps and still ever time I see pics of fast moving aircraft, my ole heart really goes pitty-pat!!

    You should take flying lessons on a Cessna before you get into a jet!

    I just took one a week ago and it was a blast!

    I served with the 1st Marine Air Wing at Iwakuni Japan from 1978-79. My unit was MWSG-17.

    Another Checkerboader ?

    Hey Jason ! Whats it been? 22 Years ? How you doing ? Has Life Been good to you ? Have you Heard from Your old boss the Gunny ? The funny thing is i just finshed E-mailing my old boss Gunny Logan. I haven"t spoken to him in 22 years. I went to sign up on another Marine Corps site ********************* and there he was. The funny thing is that he just retired after 31 years in the Corps as a LTcol. It just shocked the s**t out of me. Am very proud of him.
