In 2005, as a high school senior, the plan was to enlist in the nuke program to become a fast attack pilot. It was an amazing experience to watch the progression (with many of the appropriate acronyms): DEP, PIR, E3, STA-21, NSI, OC, magna cum laude degree with a minor in German, IFS, Primary, Intermediate, jet selection, advanced, wings, FCLP's, CQ, patching in, the RAG, Hornets, LSO, Super Hornets, Husband, deployment, father, VFC-111, defending the Conch Republic, TOPGUN, O4, DD214. You far exceeded everyone's expectations except your own. Very well done, son, very well indeed. Enjoy your retirement, your first Veterans Day (tomorrow), and on the The Show!
