The Few, the Proud: the 14-year MUs

Most NMA members are either career MUs or one-hitchers. Few of us belong to that unusual group in between, the 14-year Navy MUs.

I belong to that rare and elite group, as does longtime NMA member Roy Mollenkopf.

Our paths didn't cross while we were on active duty, however. I joined the Navy in 1974, 13 years after Roy got out; Roy enlisted in 1947, a year before I was born.
