Sundance was the Skipper. I collected Zippos, as they were the craze on the ships back then. I found this blog looking for a VA-122 Challenge Coin, if there is such a thing.<br />I left 122 just before they decommissioned it, but have the *best* memories of my time there and off my MMCPO, *Mike*.<br />God Bless all who serve, served, and will in the future.<br />JulieJuliediverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07869119844174663548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680168238264727770.post-84285599729835259112010-10-25T18:41:31.988-07:002010-10-25T18:41:31.988-07:00Hey it's me again.

VA-122, had spads, Lear jets, and A7-C and E's. I went to IMA for the A7-E, APQ-126 FLR, work center 630. Plus the SSE for the IMA radar equipment. Worked in hanger 5 in it's mod next to the IMA Ordnance Shop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680168238264727770.post-71753460243082332692010-10-19T14:03:33.291-07:002010-10-19T14:03:33.291-07:00The Coin thing really amazes me.

Mebbe I was in the wrong part of the AF, or sumthin'.<br /><br />That said... yours is way-cool. I have a VERY small collection these days, every one of which has been given to me by both boys.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.com
