City, State: Boulder, Colorado Comments: Yo Guys (and Ladies)! this is a last chance plea to attend the 07 VR-24 and VR-24 DET Pensacola Reunion especially you shipmates that flew & crewed the TF1 & C1A COD flights. We need pilots, Plane Captains, and the mechanical and technical rated & non-rated guys (we didn't have gals in my days except for LT Barbara Kelly in Personnel) that helped to keep us in the air and enabled us to return from those missions to the aircraft carriers & other air fields. We need those from the medical, paymaster, mail , cooks, etc. areas that enabled us to keep going from day-to-day. We told a few war stories last year a few more during subsequent emails and tele chats but, we need the subjects to come in person. The CIA carrier ops personnel have been overpowered by the VR-24 4 engine shipmates from Port Lyautey and Rota. Come for 1 day, 2 day or whatever; come from the Napoli & Sigonellia days, make no difference. I'm sure you will have a wonderful time. In most cases there never was a barrier between EM & officers, except where a few protocols were required .
