Yeah, your older than I thought you were, my Father was born in 41 on Christmas eve. And I was a E-5 when I got out of the Navy. If you ever see films of carrier flight decks during launch and recovery of aircraft, you will see all the different colored shirts on the deck, I was a purple shirt, they called us "Grapes". If I had taken my skills to the airport when I got out and started working there, it would have been worth 13 bucks an hour in the 80's.

Just watched a brief vid on YY. Grapes were aircraft fuelers? Maybe your handle should be "Navy Grape." :) $13 p/hr in the 80s would have been rad! [ <-------------- youth-speak ]

I took it as a weird sign that we just had an insane hail storm while I was doing that algebra HIT.

That's right and we handled all the grape juice on the carrier or JP-5 and 4. Sorry about the delay, I just felt like getting out and riding around on my motorized bicycle for a few miles. A cheap and fun ride for about 200 bucks and some elbow grease.
