Happy for you Navy, I don’t think in my life time I’ve seen someone sink their teeth into something like this and never quit. You’re a Bulldog!
This applies to everything including sports. I come from a sports family, my son was an All American, drafted out of HS by the Mets, worked very hard but unfortunately the injury bug caught up to him and my brothers son is in AAA with the Rockies. Both worked their ass’s off to get to those levels. What you have exercised here day in and day out is a combination of Pete Rose, Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn rolled into one. You deserve every penny, stay healthy and enjoy it!
