"I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy.'"

I believe whole-heartedly

tarheel, I did 6 years- five of those at sea. I'm proud to have served, but I hated serving, if that makes sense. If we'd of had the internet back then and if I'd been mature enough to appreciate a good cigar, it might have been more bearable. 😉
