That's pretty cool! The closest I got to McGuire was driving thru Exit 7 on the Turnpike. Been to Earle "Main Side" a few times too. Now it's Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (been like that for a several years now).
Navy & Air Force Veteran banners added to your respective profiles. Thank you both for serving in the US Navy & US Air Force!
PJPilot, what airplane were you flying in the photo - EA-6B Prowler? Thanks for sharing the photo too.
Toyzforme, I also added a 5yr tenure badge to your profile. It should automatically update for the next one (10 yrs).
Yes, EA-6B Prowler, and before that I flew the A-6E Intruder. Both of them now only seen in museums or up on sticks at the front gate of the air station. 😢
That's cool you flew both Intruders and Prowlers. I know what you mean - I used to fix gear from A-4s, F-14s, and F/A-18A/B/C/Ds. As you say, each are either on a stick or in a museum now. I've also been on a few carriers that are decommed or turned into razor blades.
US Navy retired here. Enlisted on the flight deck, (blue shirt), and then pilot for the remainder of my time. E-2's then T-45's for most of my time. I finished out my career helping found NavalX and the Tech Bridges for the Navy - fun time!
Just retired in Feb of this year, nearly 30 years. NavalX facility in Alexandria "Don't smile- you don't want the enemy to think you are nice!" Great day Case 1 recovery!
Navy Veteran banner added to your profile. Thank you for serving nearly 30 years in our Navy. Enjoyed the photos too. What is NavalX? Do you have time to fly in DCS World?
Hello! Request if you can please put a Veteran banner for US Navy for me? I had just recently retired after 21 years. Below is a pic of the day I received my Anchors and right next to my RX-7, how convenient! lmao. Thanks!

Hey @Gen2n3 Army here. Getting ready to sign my reenlistment sometime this year. That ETS date is coming up.
Being air assault, I’ve debated doing it mid rappel with the CO. A buddy of mine also recommended doing it inside the gas chamber to make everyone’s life hell so we’ll see haha.

Thank you as well
Mid rappel would be cool, but in the gas chamber would be better just for being a dick haha.
I did one on top of a C-130 in 2006 and the last one in 2012 between the blast doors at Cheyenne Mountain. And the Navy folks that work in Cheyenne mountain do theirs on a dinghy on the water reservoir in the mountain, which I think is hilarious.
@Railgun, it's been a while since I last logged in. I am surprised to see this change to our veteran banners. I made the original banners in 2019. Not sure why it changed. However, I will research it.
Please give your feedback on these new veteran hex badges. Railgun, your feedback was already noted. The change to this new hex badge spans across the entire IB spectrum of forums. I am still exploring options for these badges.
