I am curious. How did you get "snagged" by the Navy? To my knowledge the
Army was the only service that was drafting anybody.

I was in the recruiters office trying to join the Coast Guard. The
Navy grabbed me after I took all the tests and made me an offer. It
ended up really being a convoluted deal before it was over



Ah ... I misunderstood your use of the word "snagged".

I was young, in college and bored out of my mind. I finally quit and got a
job working for Boston Whaler. Shortly thereafter I received my
"Greetings" letter and immediately headed for the Navy recruitment center.
