Hello and welcome to the forum Wayne. :) I hope you find what you are looking for here. I was very briefly in the Navy but not long enough to have any real experience to relate to you and your situation. Maybe I'm lucky that my stay in the Navy was short-lived, I was given an ELS discharge (that's another off topic story entirely!) so I didn't get to deal with all the lovely things you did. Anyway ... I digress. :)
