Is a wind vane wort the price

I was never in the navy. But we use the term in the Marines too because we are a naval service. Not in the navy. We are in the Department of the Navy and fall under the authority of the Secretary of the Navy but not under the authority of the senior Navy officer called the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO).

Clear as mud? Just remember never say to a Marine "Oh you're part of the Navy." It would not go well for you. LOL.

Hey John,

For some reason I had it in my mind that you were a Navy Seal. My aging memory is obviously playing tricks on me. No offence was intended. As I said, obviously I was never in the Navy...nor the Marines, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, or Space Force. Did I miss anyone?

Smooth sailing,

Jim

I spent my Marine Corps career in infantry and reconnaissance units and now we achieve complete and total thread drift.... My apologies to the OP.
