VFA-14 Tophatters' Mission, Vision and Guiding Principles -

"TO INTERCEPT AND DESTROY ENEMY AIRCRAFT IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS, ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN AIR SUPERIORITY AND DELIVER ORDNANCE ON TARGET, ON TIME, FIRST PASS"

And, CDR Salamander would add, this must be done "Proactively From the Sea; leveraging the littoral best practices for a paradigm breaking six-sigma best business case in the global commons, rightsizing the core values supporting our mission statement via the 5-vector model through cultural diversity."

My good friend and former Joint Staff intern extraordinaire - Commander Kevin M. McLaughlin (callsign PROTON) just reported aboard as Executive Officer. He is one mission focused son of a gun.

  3. He WAS that self same Proton of PBS fame..... and we have all given him our share of fun poking about it ever since. Of course he does the same to those of us who were there with him and had the unwitting poor luck of statin' our love of pizza vice our wife/kids... sigh the editors of that series owe me an apology!
