So long...Excellence can be attained if you Care more than other think is wise, Risk more than others think is safe, Dream more than others think is practical and Expect more than others think is possible.

tho im 1/2 korean, i was born in seoul, even tho i moved right away to US when i was an infant. So, when the draft notice came, we had to avoid the draft with valid reason (resident of anothe country) This shouldnt have come up if my dad wasnt lazy enough to do paper work to change my citizenship, but nevertheless we forgot about it and I would have been charged with military crime so I went for three months of boot camp during summer while they cleared the papers. My korean family has some deep military background in the marines so thats where i naturally got asigned to. I got off easy tho since they knew id leave and I was son of etc. It was an interesting experience nevertheless.:-p

Enlighten me
Also, it's the Navywide sport to gripe and moan about superiors. Very little brainwashing occurs.
Plus, you make good friends, or, "shipmates" as we would call them in the Navy for life.
The (American) Armed Services also provides a way to improve the adult life of people who come from the lower socio-economic bracket. I have friends I wouldn't have hung out with back home. Or at Texas A&M.Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.

This would mean less tax money would have to be spent on the military and we would get an army for highly motivated soldiers that also get paid (not paid some daily "allovance"), plus as you have been waiting for Pekka; some little action every and now and then.
