Of course not. Get real...the guy, like all of us wanted to fly...that was priority #1. The worse times....Living in a friggin` tent in Chu Li, then doing the same in Danang, then again at Phu Bi....next worse...living under the port catapult, next door to the friggin` steam generator while crusing the South China Sea aboard a 27 Charlie. For the uninformed..that`s a small (by today`s standards) air craft carrier...yeah, yeah, I know, the desert was hot...
