Who says I didn't?  But not on HF -- unless you count
27.125 MHz.

I did get my tech ham license while in the CG, which was
handy because we started doing MARS on the ship, and
I ended up as chief operator.  Sometimes after the phone
patches were done, I'd talk to the shoreside ham volunteer
in whose debt we all were, who had questions about our gear.
We had some pretty swizzy mini-loop antennas that they wanted
to know about.
