My father, age 17, training aboard the light cruiser USS Little Rock as a member of the Naval Reserve, in 1947. The photo was taken by a shipmate somewhere between Newport RI and Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

That, and an opportunity to enter Officers Candidate School. But mostly the jammies thing. View full size.
