With all four branches of the military represented in my immediate family, the affinity I have felt since childhood for the Navy exceeds all others. Following in the footsteps of my grandfather (a Captain) and my mother (a Lieutenant Commander) almost certainly would have been a good move. At the very least, a tour or two would have kept me from ending up at The Place Where Hope Goes to Die.

Hello, just for the record, there are 'five' branches of the military :-) Have a great day :-)
The Coast Guard doesn't go to war like the other four branches of our military. You have a good day as well.
A fine blog. Keep up the good work.
I was wrong. The Coast Guard has participated in nearly every engagement since the undeclared "Quasi-War," fought almost entirely at sea, between the U.S. and France from 1798 to 1800. My bad.
