It was my privilege. A lot of guys went through a lot more than me. The Navy was one of the best things that ever happened to me, it's why I'm still around. I miss it sometimes, and it wasn't even the most dangerous position I had.
Yeah... that would be my problem. I've got a habit of making things 'not great', I've never even gotten far enough to think about a ring. I'm sorry to hear that though, that sounds like it was a battle all on its own.
