I bet his middle name isn't "Tiberius".

That's a badass looking ship. Bigger than it looks, too. 600' long.

Admiral Zumwalt was very popular and let us grow mustaches and our hair longer. He relaxed a lot of rules so we didn't stand out so much to the civilians that hated us at the time. Glad to see this class of ships named after him.

I remember when I was in, all the old farts spoke fondly of him.

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. |

You just know Kirk is a steely eyed, womanizing badass.

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'd be 3 years away from retiring if I stayed in. Sometimes I wish I would've, but man.....I was SO ready to get out after 4.
though my sea/shore rotation for my job was 4 at sea, 6 on shore.

I think my re-enlistment bonus back in 2000 was $36k.
