Medical field is about the closest I have found after getting out in 2007.

Nurses / Techs are like NCOs. New nurses are like junior enlisted. Residents and new docs are like butter bars.

Shared purpose, shared annoyances, shared mission.

I'm with you. I go to the grocery or Home Depot and see somebody with a vet's hat or patch and I go right up and talk to them. There's no b.s., just like a couple of old buddies saying, "Hi." I did this once and the guy's wife said to him, after I walked away, "Who was that?" He replied, "One of my brothers."

On a different note, I can't believe the Navy is mothballing 17 ships because they can't find crew. How many unemployed USN Vets are sleeping on the street every night. Come on, Navy, if only 10% of those guys is able, you would still be turning them away after manning 17 ships. And they aren't even combatant ships, they are MSC! I'm 74 and I could stand bridge watch on any MSC ship.

I've done the same thing many times, see a guy with a Vietnam vet hat or patch and go right up and start talking to him.

In preparation for the decommissioning ceremony for the USS Enterprise NCC-1701D, we have the exceptional honor of being escorted by one of the newly re-engined Federation ships...the B-52X.

First flown April 15th 1952, the B-52 has been in continuous service, undergoing multiple upgrades during its lifetime. The now re-engined B-52X is expected to serve up to stardate 53000.0 and beyond if no suitable replacement is available at that time.
