"Ogden Johnson III" wrote in message ... vincent p. norris wrote: snort, aye. In 18 years spent on the care and feeding of Naval Aviators [green variety] and their steeds..... Very insightful post, OJ, but waaaay back in the oooold days, both Navy and Marine pilots wore green. Although I wore the more attractive shade of green, I thought the Navy greens were damn good-looking, too. I gather a lot of Navy guys were unhappy when they were phased out. Why did you assume I was speaking uniforms, with that "green"? Gee, I guess when you talk 'in riddles' maybe your intended meaning can get lost. While "blue" dollars pay for a lot of the USMC aviation toys, our NAs/NFOs are *paid* with "green" dollars. [Does anybody in the US military still get paid with checks [much less {gasp!!!!!!} cash] nowadays, or has DoD gone mandatory direct deposit? Saw on a recent cable show on carriers that all their crew's cash comes out of an ATM.] -- OJ III [Email to Yahoo address may be burned before reading. Lower and crunch the sig and you'll net me at comcast.] |
