My dad used to put on his Navy uniform to watch this game. He didn’t live to see me join the Marines.

True Story: decades ago, I had planned to join the Navy. My father was in the Navy, etc. Well, I went to the recruiter’s office and they were out to lunch...so I went next door to the US Army and became a Tread-Head (tanker).... Definitely a young mans occupation.
