I missed the opportunity of a lifetime

Anyone get in on this? 36 years to the day I left for basic training.

Aw man, that'll be awesome. Yeah, totally... missed the boat... on that.

Mixed feelings on this. Would much rather it be something other than an LCS.

Yeah with all of the negativity surrounding this platform I was a little disappointed as well. BUT given that I was never in the Navy and it's hugely unlikely that I ever will be I guess that's just another *******, I mean opinion!

I would have enjoyed the ceremony being a longtime military brat but I'm guessing 95% of the tickets were gone before they were made available "publicly".

I'm kinda coming around on the LCS platform.

Probably still more hope than data, but the naval battles of the future (South China Sea?) may require additional assets beyond big boats with planes.
