[QUOTE="Chief Sapulpa, post: 4002769, member: 18458"] I joined (or get drafted) the Navy in '69; wanted to get into the Coast Guard but couldn't pass the stupid Ishihara color blindness test. Boot camp and A school (Boiler Tech) at Great Lakes, then a one way ticket to Rome to pickup the Mediterrean Flagship [I]Littlerock[/I] home ported in Gaeta, a sleepy little fishing town on the Italian Rivera. The Rock was a steamin' SOB and we were busy makin' the steam. From Italy to Yorktown (unload armament) > Boston drydock > Yorktown again (reload armament) > Carribean (missle testing) > North Atlantic cruise (became a Blue Nose) > Newport RI > another Carribean cruise > back to the Mediterrean > Newport...and I was out! Best second 4 year investment in myself. I learned knowlege, skills and abilities and even matured. Hell yeah, I'd go in again. [/QUOTE]
