Thank you for paying me with your tax dollars to have that much fun. At 19 years old I started pushing power levers on a P3 Orion learning how to be a flight engineer. At 21 years old I earned my wings & was taking a 71 ton 4 engine heavyweight plane out by myself as the FE in charge. I did that job for over 20 years and logged over 10K flight hours.

Best freaking job in the Navy for an enlisted Sailor ever!

Thank you for trusting me with your lives. I was an Officer of the Deck of a Trident submarine. I can't really tell you anything about it but it was an amazing ride and the most memorable part of my life. You learn a lot about yourself, your place in the world, and your responsibility to ... well pretty much everyone.

I can only thank you for allowing me to do this for you.

You're welcome for my service! Also I apologize for wasting wayyyy more than my fair share of tax dollars.

BTW, you don't include the recruiters in your thanks do you? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tbRMWn6RQXM

I thank me for my service... LOL

I did intelligence work in Munich during the mid to late 80's. I could tell you all about it, but then I would have to kill you... very old joke
