I'm certain they could find a picture of your aircraft. They usually take a whole BUNCH of pics.

Nice potential banner!
I'm making GIF ad banners at my internship right now...I'm tempted to make one out of this and hand it to my boss...see what he says...
.
Most definitely. I think I came out 2/5 on the bets. Boltered first hook down pass so I lost two right there. FML.
Nice potential banner!

HJ,
Wow, thanks for the pics. Anytime I ever walked out on the flight deck during a wx day like in those pics, I knew I had the best job in the world: the bright sunshine that hits you as you stepped out onto the starboard catwalk from the 0-3 level hatch, the feeling of the warm breeze as you climb the ladder up to the flight deck, the familar feel/weight of your flight gear as you take your "studly" visor down walk across 4 and half acres of American steel to "your" jet (courtesy of course of the U.S. Navy and the US taxpayer...). It never, ever got better than that. I hope you JOs and guys/gals that are just getting started don't forget to appreciate every single step along the way. It's over waaaay too soon....
Holy Crap thats me! If you look closely I went with the aviators and clear visor haha nice. It started out as a joke but I prefered it to the tinted visor. Anyway Qualed 22 Feb boat completer.

BTW, you are not wearing the aviators in the pic...

Most jet guys have both at once as well. The single visor is a tracom student harassment thing.
The ship's photographers (MC) send a selection of photos to CHINFO where they post them on the Navy Newsstand so the mother lode is at the Ship. Looking at the images, it was one photographer responsible (Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Torrey W. Lee) and my advice would be to contact him directly (should be in global) and/or contact the ship's PAO via its website.
So just another bullshit reason to UNSAT a stud who doesn't have the right visor with him? Sounds right...

No, I haven't seen any of those reindeer games since Primary. If you get an unsat here, it's because you earned it.
My LSOs thought it was hillarious, plus I was hoping it would distract them from the AR position in... seemed to work, I got top hook in my squadron.... Not bad considering I had 6 bolters the first day 
flew rails the second, Reagan is a little tricky (although I don't have much to compare it to, I would have caught 4 wires on the first day...if they existed
