I just received the word that our fellow pilot and friend, Duckwing, was just mustered into the ranks of mine and his brothers in arms eternal. Although my heart is heavy with grief, I wish to post this to a fellow soldier, his family and friends...

"Waste not your tears on my passing or toil in grief for my family, but honor my memory with steadfast resolve and deliberation in being a better person. Love harder, live stronger and play often....and never forget that it is the sacrifice of our brothers and sisters in arms that afford us the aforementioned luxury."

Rest in peace Duckwing.

Welcome to TIGERSHARKS. What unit were you with?

Hello. I am a veteran myself and want to join and meet up with other veterans. thank you.

Just for the record since ya'll are talking about the logo and how it looks more like an orca. Sharks are mammals too. They give birth to live young just like whales. So does it really matter what color's he uses?

The AA's original color's are red and blue, but as you see here, I am using grey and green. Why? Because green is my favorite color, it's a camo color, and I think it suits better considering WWI and WWII had a lot of green colored planes and it was all about blending in.

Dlcoates I'm actually 20 and joining the raf don't know what unit I am in yet came back from flight school a month ago

Congrats man! Good luck!

I wish I could join the military, but certain things don't allow me to

Oh dear what things didn't make you go through to the military

No...sorry but you are completely wrong Dl "Sharks are fish". Giving live birth is not exclusive to mammals.

Here are a few examples of non-mammals that are viviparous(give live birth).

• Sharks
• Scorpions
• Rays
• Tsetse flies
• (some)Snakes

And there are mammals that do lay eggs.

• Platypus
• Echinda(four species)

P.S. "Knukles" from "Sonic The Hedgehog" was an Echinda.(for those who didn't know.

Well, I would like to be a pilot in the navy. Unfortunately, I have glasses. I want to get laser eye surgery but I would have to wait 2 years. On top of that, I have flat feet, which isn't much of an issue these days but it still causes problems. Then there is the fact that I have aspergers and ADHD. I take medication for these disorders, seroquel and buspirone. Because I am on these medications, I would have to slowly get off of them so that way no health problems are formed, and then after I am off the medications, I would have to wait 1 year and have my doctors approval before I could join.

Omg

coolhanduke...old friend congrats for your squadron...

Thanks brother
