52 years after my dad served on the USS Midway my family toured it and on the wall I found a picture of him sleeping on the Midway at age 18.

That's so cool. Did you guys know that the photo was there? Did you scream it's dad?!

For those who don't know, the USS Midway is a decommissioned aircraft carrier that is a now museum in San Diego, CA. It's an awesome experience and is in my top 5 for museums. One of my favorite facts is that they have a small jail on the ship which held sailors that caused fistfights/other problems. They would sometimes miss out on visiting amazing places like Hong Kong or Australia.

It’s funny how this photograph is a historical document that records the average experience of sailors during their off-duty hours onboard an active naval vessel...

...but really it was some goof taking a silly picture of his buddy napping.
