I did not intend to join the U.S. Navy, but my dad talked to me about it. Thought it was a crazy idea but thought I'll go check it out. I fell in love right away, at the recruiters office. It gave me a reason to leave home, direction, adventure, travel and of course the joy of serving my country (of which I am most proud of). My first flight (of all time) was cancelled. The next flight was delayed. Arrived in boot camp too late for real sleep (you don't get to sleep in...lol). Time to get shipshape, march it out, share a room with 79 other recruits, learn the language, learn how to float and swim with the sharks (metaphors). I wish I could have done it all better, however I did do it and am proud of my service. God Bless.
