    I imagine so many young people who enlist in the Navy would never expect a real conflict to involve them in this way. I knew someone who was in the Navy on a ship in the Persian Gulf during the war in Iraq, they talked about the cramped quarters and various chores, but said even though they were technically in war it was pretty much uneventful the whole time.
