<p>I recently connected with a young USN officer, VERY bright guy, who’d been admitted to med school 4 or 5 years into his service commitment. Said he’d previously been a surface nuke officer. In noting to him, “that must have been pretty cool, interesting.”, he noted, “Not. There is only one group on a carrier who seem to enjoy their time and work. And it wasn’t us.”</p>
<p>Important to retain the big pic on all these things, I think. And to remember that none of these cruises last forever. Some only seem to.</p>
