Enlisted in the Corps right outta high school, did three years, got an appointment to the Naval Academy, did four years there, got a degree and a commission and figured the best place to go with it would be the Navy. So here I am 2.5 years down on a 5 year tour with the squids.
Kinda ironic... I used to beat the crap out of the navy folk years back and now I wear the uniform every day. Ah well! Hated to make the switch, but career & family wise it was the smartest move I could have made.
I may wear the faggoty whites (and yes they really do make you feel faggoty sometimes!), but my heart still bleeds scarlet and gold.
