I was in the Navy and I can corroborate this. I’ll add to it that a lot of our teachers at A school were O-1 to O-3 (Ensign to Lieutenant) and they were pretty cool. We used to mess with them from time to time when they left the building by lining up and making them salute all the way to the parking lot. They were good sports.
Before 41, none of them. After? Everything.
