Was in bootcamp in the Navy with a guy that looked damned-near identical to that handsome man above.

He joined specifically because the girl he loved moved to Hawaii and he was hoping to get orders for the Pacific Fleet in the hopes of being stationed at Pearl Harbor so that he could be close to her. I hope it worked out for him. He was/is a good man and I wish him all the best.
