Try it again sam. The Navy school for MS's worked just like mine. It was
the hall over at SSC San Diego and the top grad scores picked order first.
Top grads almost always picked shore duty.

It was not until well after you left that we started to try to send them to
fancy schools.

Ships cooks overall are not bad, and to make them feel better, we now call
them 'culinary specialists'.

From your other message:

Pure balderdash. They get decent food but no where near the rate of the
best restaunts. I've also been on short rations (by Navy standards) and had
to deal with that at times.
