Default Old Salt


This guy definitely qualifies.

The stripes on the arm of his jacket are called "hash marks". Each
stripe indicates completion of four years of service. This dude has 11
of them, so he has served for over 44 years.

The Navy uniform "Crow" and hash marks start out as being red in color.
After 12 years of service and 4 Good Conduct awards they are changed to
gold.

If you screw up while wearing gold, they go back to red and you start
over again.
