Hopefully you've Googled VOD and ended up here :) I'm living in Cyprus. I just can't get enough of the Eastern Med! Chale Biggs: Too bad I didn't know you were in Corpus!

City, State: corpus christi, TX Comments: Fellow Shipmates, What is a World Famous Bradshaw Buckaroo? First let it be known that the term "Bradshaw" was the VR-24 call sign when we went to the ships(Aircraft Carriers). Hence Bradshaw Airlines. A Buckaroo(Texas style) is a super nice person that knows about real life. That leaves "World Famous"; when you leave your normal place of work(the Med) and go through the Suez Canal and go as far as the Indian Ocean, Singapore, and Perth, Australia, then you can say I am a World Famous Bradshaw Buckaroo. QLB Life according to Chale Biggs .

City, State: Plymouth, MA Comments: Hello, I am calling out to anyone that may have known my father, LCDR James Edgar Sullivan. I'm not sure what time frame he was in VR-24 or what planes he had flown there. The old man never really said much about what he did in his 23 years in. I served as a Corpsman with 1st MARDIV in Ramadi, Iraq in 05-06. My dad died a year after I returned. I've always been interested in his past but never pryed too much and now have no way of knowing about him. Thanks, Matt
