There's a "nickname number" we gave to those of us who flew

The Navy put all the smarter people in Vikings and Neptunes.
All the fighter pilots mothers' told them never to hang out or to drink with
you people. It was possible that the smartness could rub off and if that
happened, they could lose their fighter slot and get themselves transferred
up to a multi-engine outfit !!!

"Ouch" (seeks recovery from senior moment misplaced Viking ID suitable to
appease the people at Grumman without ****ing off the people at Lockheed,
while at the same time maintaining the delicate balance between the high
intelligence of the large airplane driver and mother's advice not to appear
all THAT smart while digitally sharing a drink at the digital O Club bar
with a large airplane Naval Aviator"

"See!!!! I was right......I TOLD you the smart guys went to the multi
community!!!"
:-))))))
