"Hello from the Arabian Gulf. I thought I would say ‘Hi’ before I detach to start my PCO pipeline. I’ve been with COMCARGRU SIX deployed on STENNIS. Other classmates onboard include Mike Hamele, CO, VF-143 and Fred Flight, XO, HS-5. We relieved GEORGE WASHINGTON where Lonnie Green is the 3M Officer. I’m due to take command of DOYLE (FFG-39) in September while she is on UNITAS. My wife, Carol, continues to be a superb Mom to our four children now ages 4-10. I have remained active in church and scouts. My old 32nd Co. roommate, Chris Stolle is a Navy OB/GYN at NAS Jax and lives with classmate wife Lisa (Graham) in Orange Park. I still hear rumors about the other Jim Roberts. I can be reached at JimCarolSt@aol.com. All the best, Jim Stewart, 32nd Co.

"I write this from my stateroom onboard CARL VINSON, a pretty amazing place. Once upon a time when you and I were roommates, I thought LT’s were like gods and never thought I’d be one. Then I was a LT and looked at CDR’s and not only did I never think I’d be one, but I also thought they were old. Heck, now I’m one of those. I live in a stateroom by myself on the ship (sometimes kind of lonely) and am almost the CO of the squadron. A long (unexpected) road in what seems like such a short time.
Right now there are at least four ’81 guys who are XO’s of squadrons in CVW-11, but I can’t remember all of them. Kevin O’Flaherty in VFA-94, Mark Adamshick in VF-213, and others. I’ll write in a week or so (still waiting, Mac).
Do you believe I run for 30-35 minutes every morning? I love it. I wish you could have convinced me long ago how fun it could be (you were hung over, 20 pounds over, and 20 seconds over a 6:30 mile and in no mood to listen to my fitness schtick). Emails: jmccandlis@vfa-97.lemoore.navy.mil, 6/15/98-8/15/98 and mid-Sep thru 3/99, jmccandl@vinson.navy.mil.

Why do they call it booting? Maybe it has something to do with wading into mud.

WAX PHILOSOPHIC
Do you realize it’s now been 17 years since I lost my grease cover one day in May at the Stadium? Where does the time go? One day at a time, it goes away and everyday is just another day for you and me in paradise hoping for life’s little victories. Like having the Community Association’s grounds maintenance people not know where the common area ends and private property starts and accidentally mowing my back yard before I could stop them. Or like watching a 7-year old discover the wonders of rotational inertia, "Look, Daddy, no feet." Wham! "Look, Daddy, curb." Or like sitting on a cornflake waiting for the band to come. Wait a minute, this is the 90’s not the 60’s and we’re not the eggmen. Or like having your ARM adjust downward for a change or getting flowers for no particular reason or having a westbound morning commute just after daylight savings time kicks in or getting your USAA Subscriber Savings Account Dividend or spending your last dollar and winning the $2 scratch off Lotto when you’re dying for a candy bar or getting the Government rate or forgetting to bleed your hose bib all winter and getting away with it or lucking into a sale on something you really need or having him/her call the next day or picking the fast lane at the toll plaza or, well, you get the picture.
