I had to qual twice in the Hornet.
After I was leaving -106 the second time I was suppose to head to -251 as the AMO which was still part of CAG-1 at the time. By that time it had been 7 years since I had been to the boat.
It is amazing what 1,500 hrs will do for your ball flying.
They got detoured to OIF instead and a 3-4 month stay in the unairconditioned tents of Al-Jaber, Kuwait.
