You don't want to spend time chasing imaginary terrorists or acting as a mini-Guantanamo? I agree.

BTW, the black hull crews are the best. I was D11 DRAT equipment specialist for 4 years. When I retired they asked me what ensign I wanted and I got one flown over the USCGC Aspen.

I wish I had joined when I was younger. I never got on the water, but did duck and weave to finish my 20 in the reserves.
