Where can you find pleasure, search the world for treasure, learn science and technology?
Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true on the land or on the sea?
Where can you learn to fly play in sports or skindive study oceanography?
Sign up for the big band or sit in the grand stand when your team and others meet.
In the Navy, yes you can sail the seven seas.
In the Navy, yes you can put your mind at ease.
In the Navy, come on now people, make a stand.
In the Navy, canīt you see we need a hand.
In the Navy, come on, protect the motherland.
In the Navy, come on and join your fellow, man.
In the Navy, come on, people, and make a stand.
In the Navy, in the Navy.
They want you! They want you! They want you as a new recruit!
If you like adventure, donīt you wait to enter, the recruiting office fast.
Donīt you hesitate, there is no need to wait, theyīre signing up new seamen fast.
Maybe you are too young to join up today, but donīt you worry ībout the thing
for Iīm sure there will be always the good Navy, protecting the land and sea.

Shame, 'cos it would have made Suffolk a lot more interesting

PS Mildenhall is/was used for staging at various times - nice big runway and plenty of hangar capacity for visiting aircraft plus less likely to get involved in a sudden scramble as there aren't any fighters there. So the F14 may well have been passing through en route to an airshow or even rejoining the carrier after a deployment elsewhere.

Funny how Mildenhall ain't a fighter base yet it has signs for the 4Th fighter wing outside!!
Itsn't it tied up with Awaks and stuff, as well as a staging platform?
