Time out to brag!
That’s grandson, David, a Marine lieutenant in the foreground, flying back from some kind of “see how much they can take” course out West. There was a time when all the Marines wanted was a “few good men”. Now it’s “very few” and we’re really proud that he’s made it through all the obstacles to keep on fighting.
As I recall going into flying training, the only real test was how long you could remain upright at the Officers Club bar without a seat belt.
