NAVY SQUADRON, Carrier Air Wing 15
ON THE 23rd OF DECEMBER 1910 THE FIRST NAVY PILOT BEGAN FLIGHT TRAINING, LIEUTENANT THEODORE G. ELLYSON STARTED A PROUD TRADITION WHEN HE BECAME NAVAL AVIATOR #1. UPON HIS RECEPTION OF HIS WINGS OF GOLD A PROUD NAVAL TRADITION WAS STARTED.
ENLISTMENT WITH THE NAVY BRINGS MANY REWARDS AND THE ABILITY TO STAND UP AND BE COUNTED AS A PILOT OF EXTREAM SKILL. IT TAKES A SPECIAL TYPE OF PILOT TO CONSISTANTLY PERFORM CARRIER OPERATIONS. WHILE IT IS TRUE THAT SOME MARINE CORPS PILOTS CAN LAND ON A CARRIER.....EVERY NAVY PILOT CAN. THE MARINES WILL TELL YOU THAT THE NAVY COULD NOT FUNCTION WITHOUT THE MARINE CORPS....A STATEMENT OF TRUE FACT, BUT THE MARINES WOULD WITHER ON THE VINE WITHOUT NAVY SUPPORT. IT IS THE NAVY THAT TRANSPORTS THE MARINES, IT IS THE NAVY THAT EMBARKS MARINES TO THE COAST OF A FORIGN LAND, IT IS THE NAVY THAT INTERCEPTS ENEMY FLEETS ON ROUTE TO ATTACK THE BASES MARINES DEFEND. IN SHORT THE MARINES MAY BE THE FIRST UNITS ON A PIECE OF REAL ESTATE BUT ITS THE NAVY THAT FIGHTS FOR IT FIRST...WITH PRE INVASION BOMBARDMENTS, SUPRESSION OF ENEMY AIR OPERATIONS, INTERDICTION OF ENEMY FLEETS. THE NAVY IS THE FIRST TO CARRY THE FIGHT TO THE ENEMY DURING WORLD WAR II THE NAVY WON THE FIRST BATTLES AGINST THE JAPANESE IN THE BATTLE OF THE CORAL SEA, THE BATTLE OF MIDWAY, AND THE BATTLE OF LYETE GULF.
JOIN THE NAVY AND TAKE YOUR PLACE WITH THE FINEST PILOTS AROUND.
