What’s with the sailors?

katiefooleryCan someone explain why I keep seeing sailors everywhere? I’m not complaining about the phenomenon, mind you. No, I’m just after some answers.
It all started on Anzac Day this year, when I was in the city for one reason or another. I was in there just after the march, which meant there were a lot of military personnel, past and present, hanging around. And everywhere I looked, I saw sailors. Not army guys or airforce people. Just sailors.
You just have to love their funny hats, really. Anyone who can carry off a hat like that deserves recognition.
But it still doesn't explain why I keep seeing them whenever I’m in the city. Now that I don’t work there any more, I’m not in there quite as often as I used to be and yet I still manage to encounter sailors whenever I go.
Yesterday, for example, I brushed past a group of three of them, looking all dashing and nautical in their silly hats.
If anyone can explain it, I’d be most grateful. In the meantime, I shall just accept it as the gift it is.
And now I shall smirk a little.

But all of my ramblings isn't helping you find out why. I don't think there is a why, unless you accidentally-on-purpose picked up a Sailor magnet.
