Fred;
I am a LCDR in the Navy, stationed in Corpus Christi, flying training acft (T44) and working on an Admiral's staff for pilot production. I recently had the honor of meeting Ray Marple on a Caribbean cruise (vacation for my wife and I), and shared some stories and a few whiskies. He gave me your website, I hope you don't mind. Great stuff! I was lucky enough myself to make it out of Iraq during a Gulf deployment in 2003, flying P3's, intel and surveillance mostly. Will probably do the 8 years left until retirement, and adjourn myself to a quiet lake somewhere up north.
Good luck with all, and thankyou!
