I'll bet you heard that a lot when you were a swabbie, chipping paint,
cleaning heads and scraping barnacles.

One of my first neighbors in Florida was a recently retired command master
chief petty officer. Master was the right descriptor...the guy could build
or fix anything, and if I remember correctly, was *the* senior enlisted
man on a nuclear carrier. Or something like that. Anyway, he was a great
guy, a credit to his service and his country, and the best of all possible
neighbors.

He was a draftee, by the way. So, obviously, despite the negative
impressions you leave here with your every post, not everyone who got into
the service via the draft was a loser like you or your buddy herring.

BTW, what did you do in the navy, while the taxpayers were supporting you?




Harry,

Just for the sake of accuracy, the Navy didn't draft anyone ... at least not
that I am aware of.
As I recall draftees ended up in the Army. Then again, it has been quite a
few years since I was
dealing with that stuff.

The draft ended in 1976. Your Master Chief neighbor must have had quite a
long service career to have
been drafted (assuming somehow he was) and depending on how long ago his
recent retirement started.
