After the navy, I transferred to Harvard and finished there. I was there the spring term of 1951 and I stayed through the summer term and a whole other year, so I was able to do two years in a little less than a year and a half.
Harry Mathews

And then, when I left Princeton in the middle of my sophomore year, I went into the navy.
Harry Mathews

And then, when I went into the Navy, there was no choice. You took about half of the hours during your naval training as naval courses and the other half were engineering.
Daniel J. Evans

As the existence of a corps of professors of mathematics is peculiar to our navy, as well as an apparent, perhaps a real, anomaly, some account of it may be of interest.
Simon Newcomb

Before the BBC, I joined the Navy in order to travel.
David Attenborough

But I felt it necessary to be part of the war effort and I enlisted in the Navy to be a flyer.
Paul Berg

But the Air Force was sort of a bastard child of the Army, much like the Marines with the Navy. Everything had to be done over by the Army after it had already been done by the Air Corps, a mess.
Stuart Symington

FDR had been Assistant Secretary of the Navy. They told me, now forgotten, just how many pictures of ships they took out of the White House after he died. But he could choose good men.
Stuart Symington

I enlisted when I was a boy. The Navy looked after me like my mother. It fed me, took care of me and gave me wonderful opportunities.
Tony Curtis

I go into a young film director's office these days and he says, 'Hey man, I know who you are. I grew up watching 'McHale's Navy'. And I think, 'Oh boy, here we go again'.
Mako

I got called back into the Navy during the Korean War.
Daniel J. Evans

I joined the Navy hoping to be submariner and ended up in the sub service aboard a tender in the Pacific.
Tony Curtis

I left Scotland when I was 16 because I had no qualifications for anything but to join the Navy, having left school at 13.
Sean Connery

I never made a career decision based solely on my desire to be an astronaut. I attended the Naval Academy because I wanted to be a Navy pilot. I majored in math because math had always come pretty easily to me and I liked it.
John L. Phillips

I received my parents' permission and went into the Navy on June 3, 1941.
Jack Adams

I stayed in the Navy until July of 1946.
Daniel J. Evans

I wanted to be an artist. I was studying art. I wanted to be a great painter. When I went into the Navy, there wasn't much to draw at sea. So I began writing, and I began reading a lot.
Evan Hunter

I wanted to further my education, so I went on to get a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and came back and served about ten years in the Canadian Navy as what we call a combat systems engineer.
Marc Garneau

I was 20 years old at Pearl Harbor. I was in the Navy about a year and four months before the war.
Barney Ross

I was a Navy officer writing about Navy problems and I simply stole this lovely Army nurse and popped her into a Navy uniform, where she has done very well for herself.
