Reason for Writing
This is to be a day-by-day account of my experiences in the U.S. Navy... the ups, the downs, the hard work, the easy days, the accomplishments and frustrations. I don't want to forget what it is like, and if that means other people can enjoy and experience it along with me, I think that's wonderful.
