MP3 Bill Misener - I Like the Navy
Whether you’re a recruit in boot camp or a chief with hash marks up to his armpit, a seaman on his first cruise or a retired admiral, “I Like the Navy” captures indelibly the unique experience of being a Navy man or woman.
Play the recording at home, in your car, or on your iPod and there’s an instant recollection of life aboard ship — the sounds of the sea, bos’n’s calls and announcements booming over the 1MC. Let your imagination wander and soon “there will come again a faint whiff of stack gas, a faint echo of engine and rudder orders, a vision of the bright bunting of signal flags snapping at the yardarm, a refrain of hearty laughter in the wardroom and chief''s quarters and mess decks. Gone ashore for good, you will grow wistful about your Navy days, when the seas belonged to you and a new port of call was ever over the horizon. Remembering this, you will stand taller and say: ‘I was a sailor once. I was part of the Navy and the Navy will always be part of me.’”
