Harrier Dude
Living the dream
Most people don't wear gloves on the boat. I even heard that it's legal, but don't care. As soon as they make a smart pack less than 100 pages I'll start wearing them again. Or not.
BTW, as much as I like to complain about Bravo pilots...
In case anyone was curious - those beautiful Battle Phrogs in the forward slash are from my reserve squadron... Voluntary activation to participate in Continuing Promise '10...![]()

Oh, and the Navy PAO's got it wrong again - there is no VMA-452. My guess is they're from VMA-542...
Opted not to go... Separation from PSW wasn't the biggest show stopper - it was the brand new civil servant job combined with school. PSW was originally slated to go on this one (her PHIBRON did), but then the Commodore decided it was best she stay home and keep track of the other ships assigned to the Phibron. Win-win is what it turned out to be!Sooo, you're missing movement or opted not to go? IAW, it's not PSW's turn to lament presence of her better half due to yet another Humanitatian cause?
