Any of you older members remember this SNL skit?

It was from March 17 of 1979, and it was freaking hilarious!

The Navy Adventure 

[ open on Navy port ]

Announcer: Port of call, Bayonne, New Jersey.

[ Navy men are seen doing laundry ]

The Navy Adventure.

[ as the background music plays, scenes show sailors performing various activities: mopping a floor, peeling potatoes, cooking and serving cafeteria food, scrubbing toilets, chipping paint off of an old bulkhead, fastening chains on a ship, tarring a deck, and sitting in a room watching TV ]

The Navy. See your local recruiter or call toll free.

[ final image shows phone number 311-555-5000 against a man with a mop and bucket - the motto is also shown ]

It's not just a job, it's $96.78 a week.

sheesh... no wonder why the Navy has a high turnover rate and a problem keeping people beyond their 4 year commitment.
