I think the Navy has changed since our time, Larry.

Yes, looking back on it I've come to the conclusion we were simply "virtual
prisoners" in a floating prison camp, of sorts. The grunts had to be dealt
with differently after the forced slavery of the draft board was turned
off, resulting in better conditions for all the "volunteers", like me, who
joined the Navy to stay alive, a survivalist tactic to avoid being murdered
by the elite in Vietnam.
