    More so for Tom than for me, but thank you.

    I have a soft spot for the Navy, too, as my dad was in the Navy when I was born... not far from Point Loma.

    32nd street Base in San Diego maybe?
    My dad was Navy too, a Shipfitter on the USS Pervis a destroyer home ported in Rhode Island during the Korean Conflict. Oh the stories one especially comes to mind: $45 per month-not much so he started a small slush fund (it got bigger than he could handle). To make a long story short: he came home in 1955 with a pocket full of $$$ and a gold ring from a sailor that couldn't pay his debt with cash. I now wear the ring proudly. Maybe I could use this ring as my profile picture? Do you have a story to share from the Army Footlocker?
