You seem to be generally smart. But you spell like a Boatswain's Mate.

Spelling is overrated- especially for Marines (Muscles Are Required; Intelligence Not Essential).

But, you are correct, sir. It’s “Anchors Aweigh“ for the record.

Now - let’s all hope Navy goes and punches OU in the pants in their bowl game.
 
Okay, thanks; I didn't look that close.
I'm Dolphins too, but have much respect for the floating Navy as well, especially the tin can destroyers.

Check out Tom Hanks' movie Greyhound. Then there was the suicidal charge of the destroyer Johnston into the heart of the Japanese fleet to save everybody's butts in the Philippines.
 
I have great respect for the Navy, especially the aviators who have to land on a short, pitching deck with near-zero margin for error. As a USAF pilot, I found it very comforting to have 12,000 feet of earth-bound concrete in front of me when I landed.

And down below, the nuclear radiation won't kill you. It's all the other stuff: chemicals, high voltage, fires, highly pressurized gas that could cut your torso in half, asbestos (where it's still used), fumes and gasses, 1/2 ton metal things falling on you in the shipyard...

Years ago, I got to interview a Navy SEAL who had graduated from the local high school in the town I was working in at the time. In his estimation, the most dangerous place in the Navy was the flight deck of an aircraft carrier during flight operations. So many opportunities to get maimed or killed if you’re not 100% focused, he said.
