With Memorial Day just around the corner, I am interested in seeing what percent of you are Veterans. I salute each and every Veteran as well as all the Military Families during this time of remembrance!

A salute from me as well.

Sadly, I tried to join the Navy, 4H (bad ear) and too young (and prideful) to accept being turned down by the submariners.

For those old enough to remember Korean Peace Keeping otherwise known as the Korean War

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

Yep, in the Navy on Subs. Hated it, but I'm glad I did it.

Yep... me too! Fast Attacks. Loved the Submarine Service and teaching electronics and computer programming for shore duty... hated the Navy.
