How many military bubbas here?

Us Navy, 1966 through 1970, served most of the time on a Tin Can. Bubba, thanks for your service. I lost some good friends who were in the "Brown Water Navy."

Switchblade,

Thanks very much for including a category for Merchant Naval Service, as the heroic contribution of Merchant Mariners is often overloked.

Three generations of Merchant Mariners in my family: my grandfather, my father, my uncle, my brother, 2 cousins and myself. My brother still actively sails though neither I nor my cousins do. Still too early to know if there will be fourth generation sailors, as yet.
