Who are you rooting for? ARMY or navy?

1SG (Join to see) Don't worry, Top, they'll get 'em dirty enough mopping the floor with Army.

Swabbing the deck...?
Interesting that when the Navy had downtime, they spent it painting. Just like my uncle used to tell me...

1SG (Join to see) - Lol well. Sailors do spend a disproportionate amount of time painting, it's true.

CAPT I'll pray for your inner conflict. I stayed Army but got to float on a Navy ship for nearly two years. The Skipper of the LaSalle, CAPT Mark Milliken, was a USNA 5 year man and he and I got along great! Maybe me being a USMA 5-year man helped, haha.

The academies have much in common when it comes to what the inner self needs to be. I started out Class of 75 but my eyes weren't correctable to 20-20 without contacts and that was too much of a problem in their eyes. Nowadays I believe vision is a touch looser. I wanted college so went back home and enrolled. Then I pulled a Draft Number of 2! That's when I enlisted in the Navy, did some active, and shifted to Reserve so I could finish school. Interesting thing. Working in nursing at night and going to war for summer vacations paid for everything.
