Got to use this in my first match, two weeks ago. Everything 38/357. :)

Congratulations :)

I retired 29 years ago today, but My cousin only made it to Normandy. The 29th Infantry 116 Regiment, Yankee's would have called them the "Stonewall Brigade"

I can load a 38/357 for every occasion. :)

My kids turned out okay because of my wife, I sucked in the dad department because I was always deployed (I volunteered to go) and was never home. I just backed up what ever she told them to do, so if they asked her and she said No, then came and asked me, someone got a spanking. We had girls...

My guns are all raggedy because I try to shoot as much as possible. The only Eulogy I want is for a Gun or Pawn shop person to say "those guns aren't worth anything their all shot out". :) I am around a lot of Young Guy's at the ranges now because they out number the Old Farts, and they are...

Yep, T-34 A's and C's were good aircraft.

We dropped off two of prototype SH-60B's there in 1984 out of the five that were built. There is a great deal of money on that base.

She was dropped off in the desert 40 years ago, 28 million dollars of tax payers money gone.

What makes you think that place is not on the first wave bombing list. Next War:

The Commanding Office of Eglin moved out little detachment from the barracks to a motel out in Fort Walton Beach. He said he didn't like sailors on his base. :)

But, Sikorsky gave the Navy the Bird on August 27, 1980. The only difference between that helicopter and a 1970's American made car was it was bigger, something was always broke everyday. :)

The SH-60B entered service in January 1983, NAS North Island, San Diego, California.

To be far Best Commanding Office I ever had and he was also a very good pilot too. :) https://www.nhahistoricalsociety.org/indexphp/capt-michael-b-oconnor-jr-usn-ret-biography/

This is the Greatest Helicopter Pilot I ever saw fly, rode in the back with or worked for. He was truly a great man and ever though I worked Thousands of hours to get him in the air, it was well worth it. :) https://www.nhahistoricalsociety.org/capt-larrie-gene-cable-usn-ret-biography/
