I always wanted to be in the Army like my career daddy. Ending up in the Marine Corps was pure happenstance...a consequence of the Carter era.

You're almost 20 years ahead of me. I signed up in early 1975 for the Marine Corps PLC(A) program as a freshman in college. No jump wings.....I refuse to jump out of airplanes unless they are on fire.

A salute to you, sir, if you have.

There are a few aircraft with the props so close that it wouldn't be pretty if one came loose! The Aero Commander/Shrike/U-4/U-9 has cost a few pilots fingers for pointing outside the cockpit window.
