My Brother was a U.S. Navy man serving as a gunners mate on a destroyer in the 80's. He even saw action against Iranian oil wells in the Persian Gulf firing 5" guns

Me on the other hand just a WWII history simmer. Almost joined the Marine Corps twice does that count for anything? Didnt think so.

What's your duty there?

I served 8 months as a gunner on a patrol boat. It was during the war, but I saw almost no action.

My grandfather on my dads side was a officer in the Royal Navy during the second world war. He served on Torpedo boats and Destroyers
I am the only member of the family since to have joined the forces.
Though i for my sins am in the Army and not the Navy.

I was joining the US Navy as a Nuclear Engineer for a submarine, but had problems with my petty officer.
