I take reasonable pride in my 13 years of Naval Service, but God knows I didn’t do anything heroic or earth-shaking in that time.

Same here, although my service was a year longer, and in the Army. Closest I ever came to *heroism* is that I might have helped save a few lives during one tour of duty where I had the opportunity to infrequently fly kidneys destined for transplant from the place I was station to Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. The rest? Just doing my job, as best I could...

I may have saved a few lives by refusing to cross-rate to Mess Management Specialist when they tried to talk me into it. Goodness sakes! I am a pretty good cook now, but at 17 years old I would have probably wiped out half the ship.
