I got out in ‘70. Man did we have some fun. We’d probably get drummed out today. Rehab=mental issues=denial of purchase for firearms. And, it’s on you PERMANENT record too.
I worked the liberty boats in the Med. Let's see take one very drunk and belligerent sailor and put a life jacket on him. Insert sailor into wire mesh stretcher and place another wire mesh stretcher over that one forming a secure holding cage. Tie life jackets to cage. Place drunk on the liberty launch and back he goes to the ship.
Yep, I crawled up the brow on hands and knees many a time, it was a right of passage.
