Was it wrong to create the impression I was active duty full navy? Yes. Did I ever claim to be a vet ? No, cause I not never was.
Here is the deal. I was recruited to USMMA for track n field out of HS. I was being recuited from a lot of D1 schools since there were not a lot of hammer throwers around and the idea of service academy was pretty cool to me at the time since it was a free education. The service obligations to the Navy have been posted here. We went through a whole host bullshit daily - constant inspections, pt, drilling, marching shared showers, shared everything, no civi clothes, fire watch, etc etc
The first few months were fucking hell - like plebe year is at any service academy - USNA, USMA, etc - no liberty, nothing but constant stress, inspections, musters, verbal and mental abuse, etc.
My grades sucked and I was not able to do track n field so they let me leave after a year.
If that explanation is not good enough - cant help you guys any further.
