Look, zoomie, we're squids. Got it? :1

Just one more "small world" example. I served for four years in the
613th TFS out of Torrejon Spain, flying the F-4C. The squadron was the
"Fighting Squids"! So, I'll always be a squid.

(In reality, the patch showed something that looked a lot more like an
octopus--black on a yellow background, hurling a red rocket toward the
ground with his tentacles. Gotta really love a fighter squadron whose
color is "yellow" and whose mascot is a spineless jellyfish.)
