He was in the process of being rifted after he got turned down twice for a regular commission. After he got the 5th Mig, he got a call from the CNO who told him that a special augmentation board had just been held and he was happy to tell him that he had been selected to the Regular Navy. You have the correct story. The same facts apply to Driscoll, his RIO. I have a friend who writes books about Naval fighter aviation and get a similar feedback. In fact, one of the characters in one of his books is "loosely" patterned after Duke Cunningham. -- Remve "_" from email to reply to me personally. |
