I rented The Great Santini the other night and was surprised to find out
that the Marines had fighter pilots. I thought the only USAF and Navy had
the fighter pilots.

Well........., on a good night at the O Club at Pax, if we were sure no
Marines or Air Force types were present at the bar, (and if we had enough to
drink, even with some of them present :-).......this opinion just MIGHT have
come up once in a while!!! :-)))
Seriously through, some of the finest fighter pilots I've known in my
somewhat dubious career were Air Force and Marine drivers.
The Marines most certainly do have fighter pilots, and some damn good ones
at that!!
