Sorry about the typo in the boldface you highlighted...meant to say "seemed to be more significant and meaningful to me..."
Nevertheless, I thank you for your service to our country.
I understand what you mean about satisfying missions. I would have liked to have been a USCG pilot for the SAR and Law Enforcement missions, but your comment about "concept of pulling 7 G's" seemed to portray a certain disdain for the mission validity of AAW and OAS.
I was taught that there are 6 functions of Marine Aviation - and each is as important as the next when it comes to employing the MAGTF to its' fullest potential. I thank you for your service too.
