JWS,

I fly fighters for America’s most capable combat power

Hey, last I heard the Coast Guard didn't have fighters....lol

anytime we are in the air it’s really hard to believe that we get paid to do this

It is funny you would say this. I use to have a friend that I worked with that was a carrier pilot. He told me he said these same exact words with a tone of excitment when he first started (referring to landing on carriers). A little later when he got married and had a baby girl he said the same exact words with a much different tone (mainly one of fear). Sounds like you have a great job, There was a time when I would have liked to have gone down that path or at least fly helo's in the CG, but opted for a more layman's existance.

It is good to see you are having some good exchanges with your W and things seem to be a lot more peaceful for you. Fun and happy phone converations are nice....keep up the good work
