Explore the internal lives of squadron members and Rangermen as the military culture approaches the abyss called DADT.

Dive deep into the subtle Navy social codes, private fears, everyday rituals, as narration defines it. PN2 confides in you.

His dream assignment-Honolulu for two years as a Navy Recruiter-canceled with a word. The word, gay.

His promotion denied. Every procedural misstep by his superiors turned against him-all while he maintained-for you-the professionalism of a United States Navy Petty Officer under constant intimidation. And he risks taking notes.

PN2 Graham was a sexually ambivalent mid-level Navy Petty Officer with a Bachelor's in English, who joined as an enlisted man to see the world. He wound up in the real Top Gun, Fighter Squadron One (VF-1), upstairs in the Top Gun hangar when not aboard the aircraft carrier, the USS Ranger (CV-61). The squadron, decommissioned not long after the Gulf War of 1991, was known throughout the fleet as The World Famous Fighting Wolfpack. Commanders of this squadron include Commander Steve Gaylor, former Blue Angels pilot.

People get crazy on long voyages. Risks get real. Tensions rise. He knew full well -- as a well-trained Personnel manager in an elite squadron -- his complaint would come crashing down with the greatest impact on him.
