Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

....of just one of many Navy Squadrons bombing missions (by this I mean only ONE squadron-doesnt include Marines/Airforce/Army) over North Vietnam for Operations Linebacker I and Linebacker II.....the list of names in 2 colums to the lower right are the aircrews that flew them from my Squadron.....of that list of names you see,5 were KIA-and 1 was a POW that was in the Hanoi Hilton.....with McCain....Roger Lerseth...and he passed away in 2004 from complications from injuries which never fully recovered from recieved from his shootdown and treatment by the North Vietnamese...he is buried in Arlington.
....each symbol on the map represents a seperate mission flown for those operations....a book was written of the squadron about this titled "Launch The Intruders",by Carol Reardon......damn good,and historically accurate,and I know it for a fact-'cause I worked with these guys on a daily basis ;)
