Of course, we're "super men". Just ask us. Need I mention that your Navy OOD has the assistance of anywhere from several hundred to several thousand well trained folks to help him/her manage those systems and fulfill that responsibility? Let's not get into inter-service rivalries. Folks do their jobs (usually). I think Art has often said that! |

I really do respect fighter pilots, it is just that I also respect that OOD, the Chief in the Main Space, and, yes, even the Seaman chipping the paint. Not to mention the Maintenance Officer at the air base, etc. :-) Al Minyard |
