Not a journalist, but I was a Sailor. Spent the bulk of my enlistment hard charging the party life. Weeks of 2-3 hour naps between partying and work. Now? Almost 50 and a drink with dinner a few times a month is good enough. I enjoyed your post. Thank you for writing and sharing it! I just subscribed.
i remember coming home from a girls trip to NOLA wrecked in the same fashion. all four of us twenty somethings got home with different pains, bruises, ailments. it was debauchery that took days of recovery! it's nice to reflect back on those times and think "you did it right!", now that you don't have to / physically can't do it that way anymore.
