Oh, boy. It’s all true. Surface line, mighty fine - six weeks at sea and the fresh stuff runs out and the eggs for breakfast were last served to the army of Ramses II. Coffee made for the bridge watch by a nugget who used sea water by mistake. A horror movie that had everyone laughing punctuated by the collision alarm, which did not. Good times.
Now I know why my USNA grad husband took his commission in the Marine Corps!!!
