And it was a split-second decision.

I said, dude, I'm going to go with you.

So we went down to the recruiting station the next day.

He joined the Army.

I joined the Navy because I have an IQ, right?

Army's great.

My dad was Army, but I wanted to join the Navy.

I'll tell you the real reason I joined the Navy.

Well, my grandfather served in World War II in the Navy.

So to this day, I have his uniform hanging up on the walls, World War II uniform.

But

one of the big sellers for me joining the Navy and not the Army was the Army wanted to make me a mailman.

I learned that day, it's the recruiters have, they're told, this is the slots you need to fill.

And whoever walks through that door, right?

That's the job they're gonna give them.

And I walked through that door and he said, we wanna make you a mailman.

And I'm like, I was like, sir, sir, I'm joining the Navy.

There's nothing wrong with that job.

And I'm not disparaging that job at all, but it's not what I wanted to do.

And I joined as a reservist.
