I flew 156529 three times during my Naval career. Twice as a student learning to fly the P-3 in VP-30, and once again 4 years later as an instructor in VP-30.

Thanks for posting this!
Cheers,
Mitch

God that picture of you as an infant makes me feel old! At that very moment that picture was taken I was a 27-yr old Captain in the USAF
stationed in the UK at RAF Woodbridge, 78th TFS, 81st TFW. Seems like only yesterday….and yet it wasn’t. Now I’m well into geezer-hood headed toward fossil status. Time flies when you’re havin’ fun…..they say.

Your post makes me think of my life right now, having to slowly let my daughter go off and be her own woman/sailor. It aint easy, but it’s important.

Thanks for sharing the memories. Excellent post.

I was only in the AF for four years, but the continuous TDY’s were a very big reason that I did not stay in. Both they that go and they that stay make a huge sacrifice, and endure burdens, that far too few people appreciate.

Regards,

Ron
