Do you know the difference between a 2nd Lt and a PFC? The PFC has
been promoted.

Who salutes who?

Reminds me of my cousins graduation from Annapolis this past May. The
Blue Angles did a fly by and you could see faces of the pilots. They
were no more than 75 yards away. It was awesome.


I saw that at my oldest's graduation. It an incredible sight.

Were you there for the air show the day before?


No, this thing called work got in the way.

But, I did see them back in 1976 at Annapolis. My dad was putting some
serious heat on me to follow in the his footsteps and attend the
academy, it is a great show.
