@awesomemomentstv: In 1920, a six year old girl named Nancy Bentley was bitten by a snake on a remote Tasmanian beach. The nearest doctor was hours away, so her father rowed her out to a navy warship anchored in the bay and begged for help. Navy rules at the time didn’t allow civilians on a warship to receive medical treatment. So the captain enlisted her instead. Service number 000001. Official rating: mascot. Just like that, Nancy was a sailor, and the ship’s doctor could legally save her. She spent eight days in the navy before being sent home. She lived until 1999. Would you have found a loophole, or played it by the book?
