That's interesting. I remember clearly having to take the Oath on the very first day of basic. I was still in civilian clothes with long hair. After that, we hit the barbers and received our uniforms. Funny what you remember from 1975, but can't remember what I did last week.
BTW, I turn 67 on Trump's inauguration. I can't tell you how dismayed I was that Hellary was going to soil the Oval Office. Now, I'm so full of hope that We The People will turn this socialist failure back to its Founding Principles.
My son finished basic a week after Trump won. Great relief he won’t have to serve under the witch of Benghazi!
Happy birthday Navy Vet. I have a good friend that attended the Naval Academy to play football. He was the heavy weight boxing champ from his first year forward but he lasted 3 years, 3 months and 23 days and was kicked out for failing to attend classes after a knee injury in a football game got him drugged up and he couldn’t get out of bed. Sad story.
