Hey, did you know AM2 Thomas Young in VAQ-33?

Not sure, when was he there? If he was there from 1987 to 1990 then I bet I did, VAQ-33 was a tight group of people. I worked in Maint Control and went on just about every detachment that was going out. I was the only guy AZ to work in Maint Control. There was I think about 650 people in the unit.
