“Join the Navy and see the world.”
You know, three-fourths of the earth is covered with water. And when you've seen one sea, you've seen them all.
But hey, it was a chance to see lots of places overseas, Italy, France, Spain, Turkey, etc.

You know that in the Mediterranean countries beer is pronounced “beer,” except in Spain where it's cervesa, but they understand the word beer.
Sailors get off the ship in a foreign port......and head straight for McDonald's.

Toulon, Marsielle, and Cannes France
Rhodes Greece and Antalya Turkey

And Dubai in the UAE.
