  Father was on this during desert storm. Was a chief.<br><br>Every time I go over to my parents house I try to find time to look at his Saratoga book.<br><br>I fully believe his time in the navy is what gave him the ability to make me who I am today. He commanded respect not through threats, but by being a good person and caring about serving his country — and protecting those below him.<br><br>There were a few times where coworkers in the private sector after the war would say “if your dad leaves, I’m outta here”.<br><br>Recently heard that told to me for the first time by a coworker — that they would leave if I did. I almost cried. <br><br>Thanks Dad

  In any military exercise, the standard order for an exercise is, ‘for exercise, do so &amp; so’.

  My late uncle served on the Saratoga during desert storm, he recounted the story of the crew standing on the deck watching the Scud missile fly over the ship. He also said everyone needed a change of underwear before returning to their post.
