I bet they were old by the time you got in.
He became well known in a hurry with all of the freedoms he gave us. Most sailors couldn't name another Admiral, but EVERYONE knew who Zumwalt was. He allowed us to wear dungarees off base, a severe no-no before he changed it. |

I could have retired with 20 by then boot! Well almost(68-73) He was literally the best thing to happen to the Navy, ever, IMO. At that time it was, "Sailors and Dogs Keep off of the grass!"

Yeah, I could have done it in 88 myself, as I had already put in 5. But at the time, it was so unpopular that I wanted nothing more to do with it. Heck, they were offering almost a years pay as a bonus to re-enlist, instead I got out with a young family and got a job for $3.26 an hour at Beechcraft. |
