"Greasy Rider" wrote in message ... On Tue, 23 Mar 2004 00:27:53 GMT, "Vaughn" disturbed the phosphur particles on my screen with the following: Yes again! I joined the Navy naively thinking that I would "work my way up to officer" and make a career out of it. It was a full two years before I fathomed the social distinction between an officer and an enlisted man. Ever having been enlisted taints you for life and makes you a second-class sub-human. I'll never forget a squadron announcement posted one day in 1958: "Officers and their ladies , enlisted men and their wives are invited to the squadron party this weekend." Enlisted men couldn't possibly marry ladies. No enlisted men showed up...... I didn't join til '75 but I understand back then they issued wives to enlisted men, something about getting the CO's permission.
