I lived two years on a Forrest Sherman Class destroyer (USS Jonas Ingram DD938). We had to take "Navy" showers. A couple guys thought they were above that and were paraded to Captains Mast.
I thought Navy showers in the days of nuclear power were an anachronism, as is refueling at sea.
Invite at least 375 people, most of whom you don't really like, to come and live with you for about 6 months
This is entertaining. The thing of it is, is I also met some of the best friends I ever had or could hope to have on the Ingram. I joined the Navy to dodge the draft and have thanked God for better than 40 years for the draft.
The Navy took me places to see places and things it's highly unlikely I would have gone or seen without it.
But when you were alongside a pier you got to take a Hollywood.
