For all of my shipmates; I wonder how many got to shoot one of the birds we drilled so hard to support?
Once upon a time my qual boat got to do the deed. As amazing as it was, it was also a close brush with what could have been. It scared me a bit. Maybe it still does when I think about the awesome power one boat could hold.
