Pat - Navy is why I'm in Pensacola. Enlisted in flight program 1970 (NFO as a wreck at 16 had left one eye less than 20/20), was in RIF in Sept '70 that saw 500 of us dropped from flight program. Had one week before I was to go to Corpus - had already turned in my notice at apartment, so had to move... But all in all, I guess it was a good move. I try to go to every local Blue Angel Airshow, and make frequent trips to Naval Aviation Museum - I like it better than the National Flight Museum in DC. Pensacola has so much history...
