I'm a Plankowner and Shellback on the USS Essex LHD-2. We were also the largest ship to ever sail through the Panama Canal (at the time)... I have video of our Captain pushing light poles away from the ship with a broom while we were going through (along with my laughter in the background. lol) I'm very thankful for my military experience and believe that most if not all young people should serve a short stint after high school.
