Re-enlistment Ceremony

This afternoon, I had the pleasure of attending a re-enlistment ceremony for three of our Corpsman. They held the ceremony on top of a bridge (about 15 feet high) that lead to an island where Udai Hussein used to have his vacation home. So, we lined up the BN CO, read their discharge papers, and as customary, asked the young men if they had anything that they wanted to say now that they were civilians. It was a long pause, and then, one of the kids that was re-enlisting broke ranks and jumped over the side and into the water below! I guess the moral of the story is that Navy guys miss being on the water.
