I was actually looking for my Bachelors Degree diploma when I came across my “goodbye” photo from the Wizards.
It is a stirring shot of a sole EA-6B flying over Denali in Alaska. It is a very pretty picture.
Around the border are written well wishes from 15 years ago. The call signs crack me up. “Buck,” “Skill,” “Buzz,” Skink, ” Tails.” “Pepe,” “Trixie,” “Gouch,” ” Pootie,” “Timmah,” “Okie,” ” K-Ken,” “Lefty,” “FNG,” “Alvin,” and “Sparky.”
FNG would be pronounced “Fang” - but meant “Fucking New Guy.” I don’t even remember the dude.
I am a little disappointed that “Timber” isn’t on the border. Because I so could have fucked her. But I was married at the time.
You know that moment that you realize you are the only one coloring inside the lines?
That is not me any more.
