I know I'm just a poseur on this topic, but I became a Navy wife at 17:
Wife of AQ2 (Aviation Fire Control Tech) on USS Midway, 1980-84
homeport Yokosuka, Japan
Graduated from Nile C. Kinnick High, Yokosuka, Japan
1 dependent's cruise
I also had 2 occasions when I was set to enlist:
- took the ASVAB in Japan after high school and scored in the 98th percentile but the arrangements weren't working out so the plan got sidetracked.
- was set to muster in to the Navy Reserves on Sept 10th, 2001 when the recruiter said I would have to sign custody of my kids over to their dad and it nixed the plan - the day before the terrorist attack on US soil.
God bless all who serve!!
