Don,
You're damn right things will change when I get to be chief.... why did we lose all those batmen anyway?
As far as #1 son goes, so long as he is taking after his mother, and not his father, I'm sure he'll be very 'popular' at the college
To be fair though, you have got a point re the Navy's air defence boats.... a gaping hole in our capability right now, and not something that any knuck boy (or girl) would fill.
