Don, that poem has much meaning for me.
It is the love of freedom that brings so many to not wait to be called, but, who volunteer early, and serve without doubt or question, to defend that freedom.
This the last of seven ships, that I served in. I left her in December 1979 did a tour of duty at Service School Command, Great Lakes, Il., and transferred to Fleet Reserve February 1983, and was permanently retired November 1, 1990.
The Commanding Officer of Farragut, when I reported aboard, was Commander J.M.Boorda. The transfer to the retired list was signed by the Chief Of Naval Personnel, Vice Admiral J.M. Boorda. His last job in the U.S. Navy was Chief Of Naval Operations.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
