George Takei put the story on his FB feed and I copy/pasted it from there. I can go dig up the link if you'd like. It was from Yahoo News.

And after getting used to that, I had no desire to be assigned to a ship that might deploy for 10 months or longer, could only dock in two or three ports in the med anyway due to its size, and otherwise stand in line with several thousand guys waiting to take liberty boats ashore. **** that. I guess I could have just gotten myself stationed at a base overseas, but I didn't want to live out of the country for that long, either. And I had just had enough, too. But that pension and free health care forever would be sweet. |

Having watched most episodes of "Carrier" though, it does look like pretty tough duty on one, they keep those mfers moving steady and are reeeal douchebags about what people wear while on shore leave. |
