Do they have CWOs in the Marines? I am not aware of anyone other than a commissioned officer being at the controls of Marine 1. I have some good friends who have crewed on Marine 1 and I wave every time those vehicles buzz my house, about once a week. Regardless of the details, it's a good story. In reply to my friend, King, when I am 78, I would rather go down in flames than lie down as long as my affairs are in order. Murphy
