This was taken at NAS Miramar in late 1992 or early 1993. In this photo I am directing a launch for a live ordnance shoot. As a footnote, I recall seeing some of the Phoenix Missles being dated circa 1973...some of the ordnance fired was almost as old as I was (I was 21 or 22 at the time)...LOL.

That would be really cool, WR. Everyone should feel free to post photos of their military service. I know I would love to see them.

Wally World will scan prints & make a digital file & prints for you. You can then upload the digital files, or use a hosting service to link them to the site.
You can also sentd the prints to the lab to be scanned there, but I prefer to kep any irreplacable originals close to home if you get my drift.
(I work for the lab this is done by)
Decent prices for the work IMHO. ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |

he!!o TomCatPC. I noticed in your post you say your pic was taken around late 92. Interesting. We may know each other. I was in VF-31 from 91-92 when we got the F-14D's while transitioning from the Forrestal  |
