B2,

You say that as if it were a bad thing.

After all, we brought the bananas.

e-Yat,

The joke doesn’t say what T/M/S the heavenly aviator flew..I’d figure he was a long suffering Whale or Prowler driver used to herding ECMO types.

While we’re on the Senior Chiefs and Heaven kick:

The golf loving SCPO and his wife passed at the same time and upon arrival at the Pearly Gates was met by Saint Peter. St Pete told them “I know how much you love golf and here we have a golf course that is a composite of all the greatest holes on earth. Jump in the golf cart and I’ll give you a tour.”

As the tour progressed the Senior Chief fumed and became grumpier at each succeeding hole. As they arrived at the 18th, his wife exclamed “I don’t understand your attitude! This is how we always dreamed Heaven would be…”

To which the he replied “Yeah, you and your damned bran muffins, I could have been here years ago!”

The nearest group is the civvie pilots I now hang around with – there are some good story tellers there, and they all read Approach on-line so they are very familiar with Hornets, Prowlers, Seahawks, and gracious – even P-3s! I tell ‘em they pay for them, might as well know what they is getting fer their money!

You have a very valid point. The reason I come here is largely because I don’t have those stories and I live somewhat vicariously reading yours. Oh I have some pretty good tales from time in fraternity at college and one or two incidents at sales meetings that would rival any goings on in PI bars of old but there isn’t a blog for the small communities that exist in the civilian world.

As the military shrinks ever smaller as a percentage of the population I think something much large is being lost by way of community. Not sure what, if anything is to be done.
