Did you know Jon Beesley when you were on the F35?
He gave me my last checkride in the F4 at CNA. Great guy.

Orlando RTC June 23 1982, Meridian NAS for SK "A" School, assigned to USS Holland AS-32 until EAOS in 1985, re-enlisted in late '86 and went to Great Lakes, then assigned to USS Frank Cable AS-40. Been around the world, through most of the big canals, transited South Australian Sea, crossed the dateline, but never went around the Horns or went very far North. Regret not having stayed in. However, unsure how I would have handled all the changes over the years as they came and went. Still working in the same basic capacity as a Storekeeper; spending other people's money as a Purchasing Agent.... no $500 toilet seats, but they still manage to spend money like, well, drunken sailors!
