Congratulations....you have written a plain English text that even I, a non Navy guy, can understand. I'm going to have to get with the guys and get all these ammo requirements waved as a reward for your coming down to our level.
I'm going to leave you with a little naval terminology that I do know..................US Naval SPASURSTA. I'll check back later to see if you know what it is. It's probably online.
"If I requested that we leave things alone that happened prior to the UDT FROGMEN being disbanded in 1983, could Y'all Honor such a request?"
That'll work with me!
I will explain my above post. SPASURSTA meant "space surveillance station". Believe it or not it was located in the Mississippi Delta south of Greenville. We'd seen the sign on the highway for years before we wondered why the navy was in the Delta. We went up in the woods and came across a big field that looked like a bunch of fencing crossing it. We had no idea what it was until one of my buddies got a job there cutting grass when we were off school for the summer. He said it was a satellite tracking station and there were several more across the US. Well, the mystery was now solved except we now wondered why the navy was tracking satellites instead of the air force. Still haven't figured that out. It's probably long gone.
UhHmmm.Wasn't Airforce because there wasn't a race to the O Club upon arrival.
Wasn't a Marine because there was nothing to fight.
Wasn't Army because the Marines weren't there first.
Wasn't a Civilian because of Ùnion contract.
WAS a Naval Aviator because somebody's got to "test the waters". Lol
