I believe that chart shows the required depth of flooding to be flooded in those areas.

I read a couple articles on various Defense journals I read every day, and both said that the Navy training bases were going to be greatly affected.  Foxtrot Alpha's creator has a new defense site, and posted this last week.

Hope that Serenity and his fellow armed forces members have weathered this storm.

I haven't been to NASCC, but I DID hear it was like 8 feet underwater or something ridiculous. Kingsville wasn't even touched. I went out to Rockport today to volunteer for cleanup and it was WRECKED.

FINALLY got back into the air last night. Nothing exciting, just hopped up to College Station to get some tacos lol. When we pulled up and shut down, we thought we were the coolest kids in town. But when we got back from dinner, we realized someone else had showed up to steal our thunder!

The right sides of all CNATRA aircraft say MARINES and the left says NAVY (Since we have Marines in all squadrons).

Political correctness era, aye aye. Don't want to hurt the Marines feelings. Your jets are facing the wrong way, sir.  :salute

P.S. It all looks good.

LOL!  That's a great picture, Pilots are walking to their waiting jets but all eyes are on the P51.  As it should be, everything is still all right with the world.

So Serenity - what's up dawg? Flying much? Training? Or just thinking about that next carrier trap?
