Right now it is about my recent go around with kidney cancer and the surgery and such. But I did allow myself leeway to do what ever I chose. Old First Class can do that!!!!!!!!!!!

And I would wonder what a Argonaut lighter would look like with the F in between the V and the A.
And they got rid of the legacy hornettes for the rhinos this year!
I was there 85-87 with SLUFs otherwise knownas the A-7E Corsair II

I do understand how it goes. I just started Old Retired Petty Officer a couple days ago. A full fledged “nugget” blogger here now!

FAG (Fighter Attack Guy) Esprit de corps is not what it once was in the Tomcat (F ighter) community. I always said “I would rather have a sister in a “H” house than a brother in a Hornet squadron!” gotta have standards ya know…

It is like the Argonauts. With the VFA, it’s not quite the same. They call themselves Argonauts but those of us who were in the Attack Argonauts tend to call ourselves the Real Argonauts. Does anyone understand what I mean?

I liked the “Fighting Fourteen” part a helluva lot better too. Sounds like something a warrior would think of, instead of that identity challenged “VFA”
