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.

The funniest thing was all of the old Gunner's walking around in their
Charlies, flaming asshole on one collar and bar on the other getting a
kick out of saluting all of the new boot louie's and Ensigns. Some of
these guys were in need of walkers but they were having a great time.

For a real thrill, go play the Oceana Naval Air Station golf courses in
Virginia Beach. The F-18's practice touch 'n goes all day, right over your
head. I'm very surprised they didn't issue ear plugs along with the cart
keys!
