When I was in the Navy, it was the "good ol' days" (i.e. anything that you
could possibly catch was curable by penicillin)... Well, that's not
completely true since herpes had come around before I left, but it didn't
kill you, it just made you *wish* you were dead... sick-grin

These days, I doubt that it would be as fun to be single and in the
Navy... Something about having to wear steel-belted radial body condoms
just seems like it would take the fun out of meeting strange women waking
up in bed with even *stranger* women... I alway thought it was interesting
how you could go to bed with a really nice looking woman that you
encounter at the bar and wake up with something that albeit female, you
had to wonder if it walked upright...
