    Thank all you guys for your service.  I did not serve, but come from a Navy family (both grandfathers during WWII one flew a Curtis SOC off the USS Savannah the other trained pilots in Pensacola to fly the SBD).  My wife's family is also a Navy family (father-in-law was on a sub during the Cold War then worked for the DOD).

    No Mike, I wasn't a shooter. I was what the shooter shot...... the shooter being the cat officer who signaled for the cat operator to fire the cat after the pilot salutes to signal he is ready for the cat shot. 0 to 150 in 1.8 seconds - quite a ride!
