WHY NAVAL AVIATION?
"Any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile,
can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction,
I served in the United States Navy"
President John F. Kennedy, August 1, 1963, US Naval Academy,
Annapolis, MD.
I did that.
I served in the United States Navy for almost 20 years.
I am intensely proud of that service.
By choice and by chance, that service was done in Naval Aviation.
My specialty, or rating as we called it in the Navy, was
AVIATION ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN
A major point of pride earned during my Naval career are these:
AIRCREW WINGS
However, my proudest moment came the day a pair of these were pinned on my collar:
CHIEF PETTY OFFICER
Brand New Chief (1968)
