While the Pacific fleet hasn't exactly covered itself in glory lately, The Navy is still an organization in which I was proud and honored to serve.

So "Happy birthday!" to our sailors of whatever age or era. 'Tis a proud tradition you uphold, and we're proud of you.

Happy birthday to the Navy!
I hope the Navy has fared better with political correctness than other branches. I know when airmen vandalize a church, it bothers me that that is the caliber of person the Air Force is recruiting.
Thanks, Linda.
We can only hope; all of the Navy's recent troubles seem to be from the top down, rather from the lower rates. I have no idea what those USAF airmen were thinking.
I never served in the Navy, I did attend NAVY JROTC in high school. My closest friends are from that time in my life. We did take day cruises. 3 classmates went Navy/Marines. Our Senior Instructor was a Mustang Officer, who was at Pearl (enlisted) on 12/7/41. USS Nevada. Oh the stories he told us. LCDR Johnson has had a positive effect on all of us. No Sports Heroes for us that's for sure.
Thank you, Rob. I met a few old sailors like LCDR Johnson, and they all left indelible memories.
