Rob P.’s Hat: J2

This hat is special because it something I had to earn and not buy. It is what we in the Navy call a “flying squad” hat. The flying squad were like the first responders if the ship was ever in trouble, whether it be flooding, fire, or medical. Out of 5000 people on the carrier, only about 50 had this hat. So, it is very special to me, not only for all of my accomplishments for the 8 years in the Navy, but also for all the men I served with.
