It's sad because it seems like just a few years ago.

It's even sadder because the 80's seem like just a few years ago. The horror...

Why is Maverick wearing a Seabees patch?

TIL:

QuoteOn Maverick's flight jacket there is a Seabee patch (best view is on the movie poster); The Seabees are the Navy's Construction Force. They do not fly aircraft and usually do not deploy on ships. Unless Maverick was a Seabee before he was a "Naval Aviator"?

Matt Cline kindly wrote in to update us: The reason Maverick had a Seabee patch on his jacket, was a nod to the battalion that built a lot of the sets for the movie. NMCB 1 aided heavily in the movie, so it was a thanks to them.

And so began the long, long saga of people calling me Luke Skywalker. (went by Luke most of my life) A few years later, it was supplemented with "Luke, I am your father". To which I learned to respond "Cool, can I borrow the car, dad?"

The most memorable recollection is from an early job as a pizzeria dishwasher. The owners brother, Vinnie, was an ex con, ex mobster who used to say "Yo! Skywalkah, finish the moppin' fast. I wanna get outta here some time tonight!" (read that in the appropriate accent from any Scorsese mob picture)
"If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labelled a radical 50 years ago, a liberal 25 years ago, and a racist today."
