re: Army 13 @ Navy 17 Final - CBS

Maternal grandfather enlisted in the Army in 1918, was waiting to get shipped to Europe when Armistice was signed. Spent WWII as an instructor at West Point, retired a full bird. Both of his sons were Army, the younger one was a lifer. My wife’s first cousin is a retired Army nurse, he served in Kuwait in the ‘03 Iraq Attaq.

My paternal grandfather was the oldest enlisted sailor on his destroyer in the North Atlantic campaign. My dad’s oldest brother, who was the first member of the family to attend API (Auburn, that is), was commander of a nuclear submarine. My father-in-law was a flight surgeon.

To top it off, my wife is now a civilian veterinarian on a Navy base - but she’s employed by the Army.

So I can honestly say my loyalties in this game are equally divided
