A skill and an expertise and a cache of memories and stories to share. A good thing for a full life!

The Navy was very good to me. I got

1) An education I couldn't have bought.
2) I did a lot of growing up.
3) I got to go places and do things you can't do any more.
4) And I got to meet a hell of a lot of good people while doing something meaningful.

There are worse ways to spend your life.
