Well, for me it was selfish. I had wanted as a kid to join the air force, but my eyes went bad, and if I couldn't fly fighters I didn't see the point. When I dropped out of college I was left with a choice - join the navy or get drafted into the army. I didn't see that as a choice at all, so the navy it was.
Sailing is a lot more fun than walking.
