Used to be a time when a naval career could be derailed by even a simple mistake or lapse in judgment. When I served in the Marine Corps, it seemed an impossibly high standard but most of us ended up living up to it. It certainly kept us all on our toes.

That's awesome. As an Army puke I saw way too much slide...back in the 80s. The higher the rank the greater the forgiveness. I left because of that hypocrisy but looking back realize not sticking it out for the 20 was unwise.

But realistically someone would have pushed my temper over in all that time PC was invading and I understand Leavenworth sucks. Just as well LOL.
