    You can switch with me if you'd like. We've done enough sea trials in the past year to amount to a deployment and a half. Started counting days last week and realized that more than half of my 3.5 years in have been at sea. But, like my Chief keeps telling me "You're a sailor Parker. Sailors belong on ships and ships belong at sea. What do you think this is the Air Force?"

    Missing My Last Tacoma --- Had 11 Toyota trucks in the past and many other Toyota cars too.
    .

    I will bet that Brunes would trade his O-3 (Capt.-Lt.) for the other Captain (O-6) in a heartbeat. ... :D

    How cool it would be to be a Captain (O-6) at 25 y/o.

    Congrats on picking up the O-3.

    Just curious .. what was the youngest O-6 & O-7 that you guys have seen ??

    Ditto on the money- but not the jobs. Altho my XO told me I'd make a good three star....lol

    I've met several that are right at 20 years in service...Was that 15 years in deep selected at some point??
