I liked the Gator Navy...Me too. Spent a lot of time with some good jarheads while TAD. Enjoyed the people, enjoyed the places I got to visit...didn't like the Navy itself so much, as noted.
Best time of my career being in charge of 1st Division.
Ah, you made it to the West Coast. Quite a difference between the two coasts from what I heard.
I asked for the West Coast and ended going a lot further west than I intended. Spend four years in Japan - Sasebo and then Yoko.
