Holy crap Batman, I just had a flashback................
 

Hey Dennis.  My sister went to the Navy's nuclear power school program, and has now worked her way up to Navigator on her new destroyer.  I forgot what ship since she just took the position a month ago.    She is one of only a few female navigators ever in the Navy.  She's only 27.  She also just went to JAG school so she's doing double duty on this new ship.

Cool..Wish they would've let women on board ship when I was in..I was On a Carrier (USS America)

Here is something to bring back some memories,

Is this forum of 1859 members telling me, that ONLY 5 are veterans or Active military?, I find this fact, if true, hard to believe--

Well...yanno..we haven't had an active draft since Nam YH2...perhaps that has a little something to do with it?
