<p>Bz,
Thanks for sharing some of your experiences as a Navy family. Not everyone has that experience to draw on, and it is valuable input.</p>
<p>usna69, That’s a nice story about your loving mom. You have reason to worry because those incompletes will be deducted from your Social Security! I was warned to stay away from sailors too. 
We have a friend from the class of 1949 and he remembers some pretty extreme cases of corporal punishment while he was at USNA. Did that happen while you were there?</p>
