berserkbishop chided me for my seemingly disparaging remarks about the Marine Corps Taxi Service, aka, the Navy. I would never say anything intentionally derogatory about so fine a group of warrior chauffers.

Nuff joking.

I would advise anyone interested in the military to give the Navy a very serious look. It is big, it has everything all the other services have, it has more money, they eat well, and--I say again--they are more interested in getting the job done than in being "military." They don't spend so much time marching, standing in straight lines, or polishing brass as the Army or the Corps. That's not derogatory, just a fact.

Don't sign on the dotted line until you check them out. Naval Intelliegence is really a great option, but then, so is a Machinist's Mate.

My father was in the Seabees in WWII, and there's not a better construction outfit than that.
