Happy 250th US Navy.
Happy Birthday to my fellow Squids!

The history of the United States Navy began on October 13, 1775, when the Continental Congress established a naval force to protect American commerce and disrupt British supply lines during the Revolutionary War. Over the years, the Navy evolved through various phases, including the "Old Navy" of sailing ships and the "New Navy," which emerged in the late 19th century, leading to its status as a global maritime power by the 20th century.

USN retired me with a back which make me feel almost 250 years old but if given the chance in life again to serve for 23 years, five heart beats and I’ll be in the car heading to the recruiter.

When Vinnie passed away and we were sorting through his things, I came across his Forrestal Letter. He was always proud of his service, and I think that the letter (which was sent to everyone discharged post-war) sums up why every Sailor-- past or present-- should be proud of their Navy.

Thanks, all of you... and Happy Birthday!

Love me some United States Navy. My dad is retired Navy, I worked for the US Navy as a contractor for 18 years, but I wasn't able to qualify to join for med reasons. The Marines will shoot you, the Army will frag your ass to smithereens, the Air Force will atomize you, but the US NAVY will do all three... SIMULTANEOUSLY. Not much is as proud as a Warship or Submarine fully outfitted and underway.
