Admiral William J. Crowe Jr.: I'm impressed, young man. How come you know so much about me?
Cliff: Simple, sir. I'm an American. Clifford Clavin, U.S. Postal Service, sir.
Admiral William J. Crowe Jr.: Nice to know you, Mr. Clavin. Us guys in uniform got to stick together.
Cliff: Yes, sir.
Admiral William J. Crowe Jr.: Were you ever in the Navy?
Cliff: No, sir, I wanted to be but the old asthma started kicking up, you know. So, uh, so I joined the U.S. Postal Service instead. I figured if I couldn't serve I should at least deliver the draft notices to those who could.
