I watched Lloyd Bridges in Sea Hunt and Silent Service and Victory at Sea about Navy submarines and ships, so I became a Navy diver and am just wrapping up a 40 yr career as a marine biologist.

The only bad thing about it has been watching a Cheeto my age taking apart NOAA and the EPA regulations because the white trash POS can't get over his deep racist hate of everything Obama...including environmental protection.
