So you saw the movie too? [:D] There was a lot less concern at the time that a carrier commander be an aviator at the time.Halsey got his wings in his late 50's with the promise to Pensacola that he'd never come back or fly a plane again! I don't belive that Fletcher was an aviator. And with all the CV's and CVL's and CVE's rolling off the production line , they would have been hard pressed to give everyone and every TF an aviator with the approriate experince and seniority.

Ready for my long distance dash to the middle of the heartland! Got my new digital camera and it's gadgets, my laptop and it's respective widgets are packed, and this afternoon my GPS should arrive (UPS and Amazon.com willing!). [:)] 

How the back/ass area?

The back is improving , and is no problem if I move relatively slowly.Thanks for asking! [:)] My backside has never had a problem , despite Chickenboy's claim to the contrary. [:D] One robin does not make a spring , and one minor victory (his only one thus far) does not win a war. OK , so he killed two of my cruisers. We are still very close in points and I've only just begun to get my heavy units,troops and amphib ships. I expect CB will be very quiet about our PBEM for the next couple of turns! [:D]

I've never had any of those dreams, but I frequently dream that I walk around in public without pants. More distrubing is that no one notices.

Supposedly there was something to that. Possibly some tropical malady that Halsey had contracted. I dont claim to be a doctor. [:D]

Yes, Halsey was one of the few, but there were also a good number of younger officers coming up through the ranks. Also, remember that in USN pre-war operational planning, carriers were held to be distinctly subordinate to the needs and actions of the battle line. I bet that carrier officers and flyboys were held at a similar discount by the naval establishment at large (these are just my thoughts, I have no hard data, please dont ask me to cite my sources.

Welcome back to the "job" world ... [;)]

Look whose talking. You dont work, youre in the military. [:'(]

Jokes aside, I'm loving it so far. Besides learning the ropes and the systems, I'm trying to curb by exuberance to avoid appearing unnaturally enthusiastic. [:D]

You? unnaturally enthusiastic? Naahh... [:D]

Isn't Spruance a carrier commander?

Cruiser commander turned carrier commander through a strange confluence of circumstances involving Halsey getting a weird rash. [X(]

Well, looks like he (Spruance) should have kept his day job in this case. [:-]
