Your mind, as we know it, is different than others. Creepy.

Then send it in a PM!
OMG, how embarrassing. You are correct, sir. Kitty Hawk was a non participant. Perhaps our erstwhile Naval Aviator, who somehow has failed to master even the most basic performance data concepts, was referring to a video game. There I was, the last hope of "hundreds" of pinned down infantry, side by side with my "compadres" as we blasted the crack Iraqi assault troops and returned to the Kitty Hawk on fumes.
Not intending to slight anyone's national service, but I believe that the only decoration the lad would have earned on the Kitty Hawk during Desert Storm is the always coveted Philadelphia Naval Shipyard Expeditionary Medal.![]()
In fairness to NLC/anyone; I can't fault any for not more specifically ID'ing themselves on a public board that's under scrutiny "from above".
Very good, east and dc. Well, almost very good. You two guys were really jumping for a couple minutes there, eh? Yep - jumping to conclusions.
But what makes you think I made all my cruises on one ship?
Did you make all your "junior service" landings on the same, two mile long runway?
Thimk, people, thimk.....there's more than one fantail floating around out there in the deep blue sea.
"Thimk people thimk"? OK. I'll try to thimk a bit more on this.
"But what makes you think I made all my cruises on one ship? " Call it a hunch, since you referenced one specifically, and no others.
I'll stick with "When did you find time to go to any war" and "WTF war WAS this?" I doubt that referencing a given conflict puts you at issue for ID concerns.....
INTEGRITY MATTERS...Sure does.
Just because you're the poster king around here, you think you have a right to interrogate others?
Geeze, I'm beginning to understand how politicians feel when being pestered by nosey reporters - a lot of whom ask "leading" questions. Looking for a scoop. Looking for the headline.
Well, OK, here's a headline for you:
USAPA SUX GAS FROM PARKER'S (rhymes with gas)!!!!
OK = All doubt removed. You're full of it. NLC: "but there were times when hundreds of troops on the ground maybe didn't get killed because myself.."..My arse.
INTEGRITY MATTERS...How tha' hell would you know? Disgusting.
Is reality bothering you again?

Not full of it, friend. I just know when and where to stop.

Not that it matters....USS Kitty Hawk was deployed to Somalia Summer of 1992, Operation Restore Hope. 27 December 1992, Kitty Hawk sent to the Persian Gulf where they led a joint coalition against Iraq for violations of UN sanctions.
You take it from here.
