I noticed you're a member of the VA-85 command. When were you assigned to the squadron and what did you do?
I'm gathering interest from former squadron personnel to see if their interested in a reunion. Would you be? I'm just getting an trying to get some feedback. You're input would be appreciated. Thanks.
