7 years- 6 on active duty USN and 1 year reserve. 82-89. Made FC-1 sw before I left. Saw most of my friends leaving, so I didn't stay- now, afb (after facebook) I have discovered most of them did stay in after all and have just retired. Bastards!
Having in mind that the good Captain served more then you have years... I am looking forward to it.
You know the deference between a fairy tale and a sea story, don't you? If not, a fairy take always starts with, "Once upon a time . . ." Meanwhile, a sea story never fails to start with, "This is no s***!"

Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Well, I live in Arizona and do spend a lot of time in or around my swimming pool, so I am a color not generally found in nature. Sort of dried brown leather. But culturally, no dude, no redneck here; I'm like, you know, a southern Californian. I grew up at the beach in the immortal words of Don Henley and Glen Frey, "just too busy being fabulous." In fact, here is me in my misspent youth; with and without facial hair.
I didn't spent all those years shaving 2x a day and visiting barber shop 1x a week, yet I have similar look (only with fewer white hairs).
It works for me, but not for the female inside

To make mistakes is human. To blame someone else for your mistake, is strategic.

I think I might be getting close to twenty now. I am also fairly certain that they only keep me around to train the new folks and have some dastardly plan to place me in a glass case that reads "break open in case of war." I have a bit of the "been there, done that" attitude going on. It's been difficult being an NCO in a service that has no regard for the E's.
