Joined the USN while still in high school, graduated and off I went. There is nothing like a real world education. I always marvel at the wisdom of Mark Twain. This quote is particularly apt in this case: Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
