I only grew a beard briefly on two occasions in the Navy.
If you grow one, you have to keep it, since your ID has to be changed.
So, on trips, we did this, but this one I was the only one I kept.. for a year

A year later, I started getting seasick and dizzy in heights. The next 16 years were hell, at sea.

It's been over 16 years since I was active duty. U-boats and submarines in movies are still more terrifying to me than any monster or villain in any horror movie. #navy

There's a big old American warship arrived in Oslo today. USS Gerald R. Ford.

The wife keeps telling me there's going to be a lot of American sea men around the docks of Oslo tonight. 🤔

The Pentagon Is Freaking Out About a Potential War With China - a very long and comprehensive look at just how screwed we’d be if China decided to retake Taiwan in the next few years. TL;dr we’re not ready, nowhere near prepared and would suffer significant losses in our defense of the island. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/06/09/america-weapons-china-00100373

My creative time: 5am, here's what flashed through my head years after it happened.

There was once a very senior officer, who had been in the Navy since he and Jack Sparrow signed on... he just pulled he plug and retired. (you can do that, it's no surprise)

In a busy operational unit, this position could not be vacant. Instantly, the next rank down, working in a role of CoS (Chief Of Staff), was made 'acting' until a qualified replacement could be found.

Despite Major Reform to #Military Justice System, #Navy Still Leaves Public in Dark

As President #Biden announces major reforms to how the military prosecutes #SexualAssault, the U.S. Navy is still shrouding those court proceedings in secrecy and fighting a ProPublica lawsuit to make such cases public.
