Pukin Dogs on Cruise

[@stumper2cort147]

I was with the Pukin Dogs WAY back...lol.. back in 1968 with the F4 on the Connie... Thank You too all who served then and today

I was one of the World Famous Pukin' Dogs '86-'89 and it was one of the greatest times of my life. Work-ups, Fallon, Homestead AFB and one outstanding Med. cruise with the best sailors in the world's finest Navy, I salute you. If you aren't fighters you ain't shit, is the motto, so I'm still gratefully deadicated to the Dogs. From the once Plane Captain, NUDZ. P.S. I remember the very sad day that bird went down, spawnofwheezedog. RIP Sir.

My uncle Vince was in VF-143 as a RIO, sadly, his F-14 went down in '88 off the coast of NC, before I was even born :(

I used to be a Pukin Dog ! 1973 to 1976. March 1973 F4 Phantom On The Enterprise to July 1976 on The America 2nd cruise with the F14 s. I am 58 now and looking back. I wish that I had made a career of the Navy. Good times good friends !

@pukindogs75 Finch, The Dude and Pyle did most of the filming for this. Then me, Finch and The Dude went onto the Eisenhower's Video Editing platform and mixed it up.
