Adm Steel:
I've talked to other veterans who have said the same things. One Marine told me the same thing you are saying: The Navy (or any branch of the military) taught me valuable life skills that made me better at certain jobs. That's also part of my plan, I hope that after I get out of the Navy (and if I have a great job in the Navy) I can find a civilian job that I have some experience in.
About Obama's Navy, I'm probably not the best person to chime in on this but in today's current political climate, people get agitated if you don't follow their political views. I've seen that happen on both sides, and I expect it to get worse. When I get in the military, I'm gonna try my best to stay out of politics early on (unless my job requires me to be involved in politics).
And to ETSN and Aktung: I'd imagine those places would be wild! They have changed a lot though probably.
Excellent job guys! Keep the stories coming in!
