Old oak desk I found at a yard sale. Another project!!!!!

This is an old oak table top desk I found at a yard sale a couple years ago. As you can see it is in pretty rough shape. I was going to refinish it but you know how that goes. It does not have legs. It sits on a table top (I guess). The stensil on the back of it makes me think it was military property. If anyone knows anything about this desk I would sure like to hear from you. Thanks in advance.
