WWII is so interesting though, and the volume of what's been written about it and the scale of the conflict just leave it to where it's one of the most fascinating topics in human history to study. You can find more of these riveting stories every day, and you could study it as an interest for the rest of your life and probably never run out of new material.
I always find myself asking, what would I have been doing if I'd been alive then? Being in that situation must bring things out of you that you never knew were there, both good and bad, and undoubtedly would change you forever too.

Based on this thread, let's see where you would have been if you had joined the Navy:

(Rolling dice.)
You would have been on the Fletcher-Class Destroyer USS Wedderburn.

You would have seen some action but your ship was never damaged, so you would have come home with some good stories and little trauma.
