I wouldn't change anything. My kids are awesome!

Sounds like our house.

My kids rock, too! Rep!

Ever run across "Soms" from VMFA-251 T-bolts? He spent most of his time in Beaufort but I know he went through Yuma a bunch during that timeframe.

If I'm recalling everything right shouldn't we be talking about Dec96 or Jan97 ('96 season?) .... I recall it being around Christmas '96 - New Years '97 because I was in a deep funk due the Oilers just playing their last season ever in Houston and a buddy of mine who lives in Minneapolis got tickets to the playoff game in Dallas and asked me to meet him up there. .. anyway I digress.... I pulled for the Vikes but unfortunately Dallas crushed them. That's 11 years ago already? jeezus... I had a kid in about the 2nd or 3rd grade who's now a freshman in college.....that's how long it's been.

I just checked and it was the '96 season so it was Dec '96 or Jan '97 can't remember the exact date....

Same here.

Nope, but strangely that was the name of my squadron when I first got there, later changed to Headquarters & Headquarters Squadron. Yuma is a big training base, so there was tons of people coming and going all the time.
