t's that one with all the P-3s in it and they kill all those subs
That story line just sounds fantastically implausible.

The Great Santini. One of the better guys' movies that has some emotional crap thrown in for the ladies.
Hell yea "phrogdriver," The Great Santini's awesome! If you haven't seen it you gotta check it out. "We are Marine Corps fighter pilots. We have no other purpose."
Looking at it now though, if a new squadron CO came aboard with that speech, I'd think he was a self-important douchebag.
Remember one of the opening scenes when JW's semi-out of control aircraft antics cause a couple of guys to bail off the train and into the water while coming across what is Bayou Grande ... ???The Wings of Eagles. One of my favorite John Wayne movies ever.
A great little Italian restaurant used to occupy the east side of S. Navy Blvd. immediately off the bridge and my duplex was on the west side of S. Navy Blvd -- across the street.
That train track used to run parallel to the bridge over to main gate @ Mainside. A great little Italian restaurant used to occupy the east side of S. Navy Blvd. immediately off the bridge and my duplex was on the west side of S. Navy Blvd -- across the street.
You're not a fighter pilot ...

I'd like to read Bull Meecham's policy letters on EO, Hazing, Sexual Harassment, etc. I'd also like to examine his NATOPS jacket, APR, and MSHARP to ensure compliance with GWOE and ORM training. Was his "Mentoring" program in compliance with MCO P1234.56?
(BTW, Bull Meecham wasn't killed in flight. He was actually relieved of command for "a loss of confidence in his ability to command" after one of his Lance Corporals got a DUI after spending President's Day weekend in Savannah. Apparently LCpl Benotz didn't complete his HARP form (to include vehicle inspection) prior to departure, and hadn't completed his IA and Combating Trafficking in Humans CBTs before the Safety Stand Down.)
You mean Col. Donald Conroy.
