When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
It's the same when you are stupid.

Five useful years in the US Navy. Electronic Tech. ETR3 1959-1964 out 8 days before they decided Vietnam was a war. Bless those who've come after!
Pacific, BarPac sea duty 2Years, Japan shore duty 2 years
God Bless the Service!
Were it not for the Navy, I would not be who I am. I joined the Navy and some of my friends went to jail.
They put up with me and caused me to learn another trade which supported me more than once as time passed.

I had a great skill set I learned from the USN if the commercial airlines had decided they needed to carry bombs and missiles.........
I got out because the peace time Navy was not fun. Since there was no war to fight, the brass insisted on jacking with the troops. I was looking at a 7 year wait for E-6 even though I'd passed all the tests. Might have made Chief in 20. Couldn't go Warrant from E-5 so I checked it to 'em and never looked back.Geezer likes this.Member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club, participant SE Asia War Games 1972-1973.
