By the way, my daddy was a 30-year Marine, who started his career as an underage grunt at Okinawa.

Good for him. What about you?

A rather patient Navy doctor informed my 19-year-old self that I had a heart condition that the service didn't want to deal with. It hasn't given me a lick of trouble in the time since, but he labeled me medically unfit when I tried to volunteer.

And he waited until I had completed a loooong and humiliating physical before telling me this, when the examiners found out early! I'm still p****ed about that.
