I didn't know Doug King was cruising the Bahamas

Well, you guys are older than me... it's a different world now. I
joined up in 1979 during the Carter Recession, when the employment
section of a major metropolitan newspaper was less than 2 columns.
There were not "Help Wanted" signs on every fast-food joint & gas
station. If there were, I would not have enlisted. As it was, I took
the Navy over the Air Force because they could take me in sooner.

And it's a different world now than in 1979 too. About 30 years ago
one my brothers, 5 years younger than me, clued me in when he told me
we were in different generations. There's probably a new one every
year now.
BTW, the worst unemployment since the Great Depression was in 82-83.
The Reagan Depression.
You were the Navy and missed it.
