I agree with ever word you typed. I wish you luck on Captain!!!! Need some great conservatives in the mess. I still am shocked by the number of Democrats in the Wardroom. I am in the Chief’s Mess and yes sadly we see Democrats there too.
Not going to make Captain, but I had a good run. I flew for twenty years, learned a lot, got my degree from Annapolis, got another GI bill to pass to my son and have a cornerstone for my retirement plans. My Navy experiences benefit me everyday at my new job.
