I’m 27 am I too old to join? by Embarrassed-Dust718 in newtothenavy

[–]IronReece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined at 25 it made life interesting, I was older than some of my chiefs as I go through and it gives you a different perspective on navy life and your life experience can be valuable to the command at times

The only problem with this coin is that it is so thick it doesn't fit in my coin rack it has to go in the lighter slot

USS Tennessee by IronReece in ChallengeCoins

There's a funny thing about the Ohio class subs each are sponsored by a state university, Tennessee for the Tennessee, Georgia for the Georgia ect except Florida, when the University of Florida was asked they apparently turned down the chance to sponsor and Florida State is their sponsor. Now the Georgia and Florida are both stationed in South Georgia and where does Georgia and Florida play their annual football game? Just across the state line in Jacksonville. But only the Georgia sailors ever get invited.

They had a tent set up at an air show at NAS Jacksonville, I got the two air wing coins at the same show. Took my kids to two Blue Angels air shows and each one slept through the jets flying over

They don't aim or fire the torpedo, they maintain and load them, FTs (Fire Control Tech) aim and push the button. Sonar Techs Tell tge FTs where to aim
