Randy,
Had one of those wake up call moments the other evening.
Went to grandson's Eagle Scout court of honor. Local VFW participated.
One Vet was a sailor. by the patch he was an aviation electrician with one hash (4years +)
Hell, he looked old. Was wearing some kind of beret looking cover with a little thing dangling off of it.
From his age I figured the cover was some kind of vintage head gear.
After the event I introduced myself to him and learned he was a helo gun ship electrician and served the SAME term of service as I did. Hell! I didn't think I was THAT old!!!

My Veterans Day wake up call was a fellow with a "Yorktown" hat. He definitely looked old enough, time and circumstance prevented follow up with him.
I did look it up when I got home to refresh my memory, and learned a few things I did not know.
I did know going in, the "Yorktown" played a big part in why we're not discussing this in Japanese.
