Graduated from there in '81.

My squadron mate and best bud, Kurt Watson, wanted to fly for the Blue Angels.

He got picked up by the team and was the one who flew Tom Cruise when Cruise was deciding whether or not to do the movie.

When I was in the Coast Guard we had a quartermaster (QM1) that guys called RM1 for rack monster because he basically slept non-stop when we were underway.
