I was with VAQ-136 in the beginning and a plank owner. I was an AME and made the first three cruises. I was wondering if there are plans for any type of reunion?

Served proudly aboard USS Midway and USS Independence 1990-1994. I just wanted to give a big shout out to all the Midway Dogs out there (the last of the goodtimers) only you that were there know what thats all about. Good to see you again Troy, I haven't been to the website in a while. Great job.

A great site! I am proud to have been the Plankowner Skipper of such a terrific squadron. A great squadron with a fine can do spirit. Damned proud of everyone.
Also, it was Odya, a young squadron airman who came up with the patch design before our commissioning.
Have a look at http://www.naval-aviator.net/index.htm - Many naval aviators are telling their stories there.
Cheers,
Norm

Our son Hunter is an AT with VAQ-136 and is now aboard the Kitty Hawk. He's been in the Navy just one year now and did his training at Whidbey. We are proud of him and have fun finding info on the net about what he's doing. Thanks for a neat website.

I was the AT LPO from 92-94... One of the best tours I ever had, and 90% of all my Career Sea Stories come from here. After doing time in the Claw, I can state without a doubt, if you need something done now, the Claw will provide the best results. My best to all the Current and Past members of this Squadron.

Troy, I enjoyed looking over the Gauntlet site. It brought back many good memories. I was assigned to 136 from 83-85 as a YN. Thanks again.

Hey what's up fellow Gauntlets! I am glad to see that there is a web site just for us. I was in the Claw from 95 to 98 and then again 2001 to 2006. It was the best time of my life and I miss it already. Give me orders back to Japan.
