Which kind of is the fundamental difference between the navy and the other services; we have to rely on each other. We don't just lose a foxhole or a squad if someone walks away from his job while on duty. We can lose a ship.

Playing Battleship with general Duckie and captain Loofah in your bathtub is NOT considered being in the navy.
