You still wearing the uniform?

Oh dear, Bruce. Was NavVet an unfamiliar term? Means Navy veteran. You hear recruiters using it mostly. 1977-86. You do seem to have missed the "long out of uniform" phrase.

My Navy retiree wife has more tats than I do. Which is easy, since I haven't any. She thinks it would be cool if I did get one. She got all two of 'em after she retired.

Oh fuck you, I know what navvet is.

...getting "Thank you for your service" and a handshake, at random times and places around town.

How the fuck do they know if you're not wearing your uniform, or telling of your thrilling peacetime sagas.
