Hmmmm... So, he got to have fun with Moammar too? We did the "Line of Death" dance in the Gulf of Sidra in '83. (Your son will know what that means.) My squadron left the Coral Sea in Norfolk in September of '83 and transferred to the Constellation (CV64) in '85.

Some of the hardest, but best years of my life, Painter. Wouldn't hesitate to do it all over again, (If I could.)
