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)

I'm proud to say we've been receiving so many awards, they were slowing our pages down. We've made seperate pages for the awards by category. There's much to be seen if you link to the awarders and I've tried to make the awards pages
as interesting as our regular pages.
