This may be a stupid question , but would any Marine Corps pilots be training there? A friend of mine has a kid that is somewhere in N. MS at a flight school.

Marines and Navy train at Vance AFB in Oklahoma when on exchange with the USAF. Your friend's kid is most likely training at NAS Meridian. Highly unlikely he/she would be flying a Columbus based T-38.

This is always fun to find out on TD people's identities. Yeah, I have two younger sisters. We were swimmers growing up and the only LSU fans at CHS.

I went to St Mary's Catholic school. But I think it's called Annunciation now.

Yeah, they changed names when I was in 1st grade....so 1994ish. Fr. Hurley was the key person in the name change to have it named after the church.
