In the Navy
Ted R. Jay (on burro), c. 1917-1918, possibly San Pedro, CA. This faded picture postcard was taken while Ted served in the U.S. Navy in WWI. He served on the USS Bear, a famous ship that had previously played a central role in rescuing the ill-fated Greeley expedition in 1884 and served hazardous duty in the Bering Sea in the Revenue Cutter Service and later sailed to Antarctica with Admiral Byrd.

Interesting Uniforms
I love the old school boondockers. The other interesting part is how long those neckerchiefs are. In today's Navy, the neckerchiefs have to cover up the V in the neckline.
