Apparently, George Washington was originally supposed to join the Royal Navy when he was 15, however his mother didn't want him to knowing the hard life he would be subjected to. Washington almost joined, as he walked up the gang plank his mother shouted to him to get off the boat. George was almost on the ship when he turned around and returned to his mother. My question is, what may have happened if Washington had joined the Royal Navy instead of becoming a surveyor?
