 My oldest son by my second marriage is in the Navy and leaving for
 Hawaii for a three year tour and the sucker out ranks me already by
 one stripe!  :)  He is going for officers training and I told him
 that when he made it, he could forget about me calling him Sir!  :)
 I went to join the Navy when I was 17 and the office was closed and
 an Air Force Sergeant came down the hall and asked if he could help
 me and the next thing I knew, I was in the Air Force!  :)
  
 CR> Our motto is:  You jail 'em, we preach the Gospel to 'em. 
 Ya' like a captive audience huh?  :)
Just another humble servant of The Kingdom.......clarence.......
