IIRC he has told a story in the past, either on this NG or one of the
others, of being throw over board. He claims that's how men like him were
taught how to swim.

Problem is he wasn't smart enough to realize, they weren't trying to teach
him how to swim.


I don't know about other Navy boats but I have some time at sea on
helicopter assault boats like the Okinawa when I was in AF special ops.
I saw lots of places where someone like him could fall overboard.
Perhaps that's why he never went to sea.
