And, when were you "still in the Navy?"


Obviously, when F/A 18 was being deployed, and the F-4, A-4, and A-7
were
being phased out.

Don't know when that is? I'm not surprised that you don't know, only
that
you're willing to admit it. Maybe there is some hope.

The USMC started getting the F/A-18's in the early '80's for MAG-11 at
El
Toro. Yeah, it took a few years to get them deployed to the entire
fleet.
Now, F/A-18's are being phased out for the F/A-18 E/F's it will take 10
years or more at current production levels for the older A/B and C/D
models
to be phased out.

Drop it Bert - they know more than the people who build them, fly them
and work with them everyday.

It's not worth the rise in blood pressure.

I think I'll keep this going for a while longer, stinking squid
now-it-alls
**** me off.

Well, they are a lower life form. :) (That was a joke - only a joke
- some of my best friends were Navy.)

Save it for another day and a different subject. It really isn't
worth it.

There will be other squid to fry. :)

Get it - other squid to fry?

Er...

Never mind.

My grandfather had the good sense to join the USMC back in '26 but, he took
an appointment to Annapolis and then went Navy after graduation. The next
generation produced another Annapolis ring knocker before I had the good
sense to enlist in the Corps.
