Glenn's Story
Re-retired 2017 after 51 years of Naval service,
24 years active duty Regular Navy and 27 years civilian service.
I sailed the world and found my Aussie RN bride!
Thinking back, given today's world, maybe I should have taken that law scholarship at Ol' Miss and made beaucoup buckazoids...
But then, I wouldn't have met Nurse Judi, graduated from the US Naval Academy, flown Navy jets nor seen the world as well as the sea.
Go Navy, Beat Army

PS:
Did you ever wonder why I never dated nor had a steady girlfriend at Andover?
It wasn't that I didn't want to; I was putting maximum effort in trying for one of the 200 competitive non-political Secretary of the Navy appointments to the U. S. Naval Academy.
I set that goal when I was in Ferndale Elementary School and never waivered.
It was a matter of time management at the cost of normal teenage social life,
In addition to all of the school activities listed under my yearbook photo I was also active in the Boy Scouts (Eagle Scout), Sea Scouts (Ship's Boatswain), racing Lightning Class sailboats, and weekend gigs playing saxaphone with Johnny Soul and The Manchesters.
Just NO time for dating and girlfriends if I was going to have a chance to successfully compete for the SECNAV appointment in the criteria for scholastics, sports, leadership, community service and extracurricular activities.
Well, it paid off! But at the cost of normal teenager social life.
Competing with over 60,000 qualifying applicants, I won one of the 200 coveted SECNAV nonpolitical appointments to the USNA Class of 1970.
After completing Plebe year, when Midshipmen were permitted to date and have girlfriends, I finally made up for lost time. Never missed a Brigade dance or function without a very attractive date, including a few Linthicum and Glen Burnie girls - it was good to be a local.
Even had my first "Steady" - a stunning Annapolis girl - during my last two years at USNA.
So I never went without a date or a girlfriend from then on, that is until a blistering hot day in the sands of Saudi Arabia when I unexpectantly came across a beautiful Australian Registered Nurse wrapped in her black abaya. I had finally found my soulmate, the love of my life, and we have become an inseparable married couple AFTER she first pulled a knife on me that first day and said "YOU stay away from me!" (I mean, she is Australian) !!
But I was smitten and could NOT stay away. But that's another story....
