Oh there’s a few rugby games, I think even ea made a few. I played it all throughout high school and almost played in college but went military. Definitely one of the most fun sports to play, a little hard to pick up rule wise but I think one of my old coaches described it best as “tackling basketball”.
Navy, did small boat ops. My step brother was a full term Air Force traffic controller and is now double dipping working as a military contractor and getting military retirement. He kept telling me to go Air Force and do radar, got a 96 on the ASVAP and went for a job that required a 60? My recruiter was extremely indignant about that one. Then again my brother got an 80something and went grunt marine, so maybe it’s in the blood.
Explains why your dad was more no-nonsense on the racial victimization. Military vets tend to have the pull yourself up by your bootstraps mentality. My grandpa was a navy ww2 vet and taught me to box as a kid lol, not to mention my oldest brother was the combat marine so I was used to being choked out roughhousing since the single digits.

And thanks for your service. What branch were you in? Sorry if you told me before. I was Air Force.
