Starting in a VERY short time, our first set of Skinny Dragons will make their way to our deployment site, and needless to say, a mixed set of emotions is being felt throughout the entire squadron. Anxiety, fear of the unknown, excitement and nervousness are among the several feelings that each member of VP-4 has coursing through his or her veins. In our haste to get out the door, we did manage to clean ourselves up for a little "photo session":
Now THAT is what I call a good-looking set of aviators, aircrew and combat support personnel, if I may say so (and I hope everyone will agree)! This picture was taken prior to our last Safety Stand-down, where the squadron was able to gather one last time and discuss pertinent information and other topics relevant to the next 6 months of our lives. Afterwards, the VP-4 Officers Spouses Club provided a free lunch of tacos and soft drinks to the entire squadron, so a hearty "thank you" goes out to the entire OSC for the delicious meal and the well wishes prior to our leaving.
In short, as the title says, we soon will bid Aloha to our fair duty station here on Oahu, and will bid a cheery (ok, maybe not THAT cheery) Aloha to a different version of the sand we so love here on the island. Good luck Skinny Dragons and we'll see you at the "tip of the spear!"
