You know, I heard the Coast Guard had a height requirement of over 6' tall for their enlisted. They wanna make sure if your ship sinks you can walk back to the beach.. :hehe: Sorry old Navy joke.
As a Damage Controlman I attanded several Navy courses. the Navy guy's would always be saying stuff like that, and mumbling knee deep piriates etc... My response to them was, the last time I was in knee deep water it was in a bath tub with your wife :hehe: Sorry old Coast Guard joke.
