I have a friend that is a Navy vet. He told me about an engine on one of the boats that would need a couple of quarts of oil added every day. One night he was on duty to baby sit the engine, so he started to look for where the oil was going, and found a loose fitting. Since he wasn't supposed to do any mechanical work he never mentioned that he had tightened the fitting and stopped the oil leak. Eventually the engine couldn't hold any more oil since every morning the person that was in charge would add an additional 2 quarts of oil.
I have spent a lot of time with the navy here and overseas but I wasn’t navy. I do owe a life debt to a very special member of the United States Navy.
