Ernest Borgnine

Hoy la cosa va de la grey-line:

Ernest Borgnine makes chief. Academy Award winning actor Ernest Borgnine, who served in the Navy for 10 years, received honorary rank of “chief petty officer”.

Borgnine enlisted in the Navy in 1935 serving on destroyers and submarine chasers. He served his commitment until 1941, but after just three months of being a civilian again, Pearl Harbor was hit by the Japanese and Borgnine returned to active duty. Borgnine went to sea with the Navy — helping to guard the U.S. Atlantic Coastline during the height of World War II.
