He's got a decent Twitter account. Tried to reach out to send him some Masters stuff ( Eisenhower related ) , but never heard back.

I'm sure he's a bit busy these days.

Yeah, he’s become a minor social media sensation for his Twitter presence. Chowdah’s an E-2 guy, known him for a minute. Good people, glad to see the positive attention he’s bringing to his crew and Ike.

I sent him a classic "Hey Sir, I'm an Ensign and..." message on Twitter and he emailed me a reply in less than an hour. He's awesome.
 
Maybe a dumb question, I was falling down Wikipedia rabbit holes and noticed there’s a P-8 based in Dallas and all it says is it’s used by BUPERS. Why is it there?

None of the VMAQ squadrons used it, VX-9 is XE, VX-23 is SD.

I don’t think it was used in Prowlers.
