It takes a lot of people to get our fat butts off the deck!  :salute If you were or are one of them!

You saluted the men who "helped get our fat butts off the deck"... I replied with a picture of my father, who was a flight deck "final checker" at the time of this picture. He later went on to be a plane captain, and then went to OCS in Pensacola, FL. He retired as a Lieutenant after 20 years of service.
