I didn't serve, but if I had, I would have joined the Navy. My image is more romantic than realistic. Basically the start of the first chapter of Moby Dick when Ishmael is rambling on and on about the appeal of sailing to sea.
That's a nice token!
!PIMP
I prefer the beach to the open sea, and I get sea sick easily so it wouldn't have worked for me! Cramped living quarters, especially on a sub. I guess having toured retired versions of both when I was younger made it unappealing! The romanticized version I can understand, Moby Dick selling some beach front property in Arizona!
