It tells me your brother might have got the brains!

Julie and I attended a wedding aboard a big sailboat in Key West once. The groom, best man, and groomsmen were all Coasties. We got evacuation orders because of a hurricane coming our way and we had a rental car so we bugged out to Fort Lauderdale to catch a plane hone. That drive on A1A at 10mph the whole way is a whole nother story. We gave a lift to one of the Coasties who was headed to Hawaii for his first assignment out of tech school or whatever they call their officer training school. He was a deisel/power plant engineer and knew his damn shit. An officer obviously, with an engineering degree.
Anyway, I was impressed with those kids. They all had promising careers ahead of them and a place to get amazing work experience too.
