18 Years

[Stepside Z]

I knew something was strange untill I really looked at the date then I figured it out. I went over 18 years of Naval service today. I have had fun but am looking forward to retiring. Funny thing is I remember the first day of boot camp as if it happened yesterday.

Congrats!

Congratulations John!  Does the 18 year mark mean anything in terms of retirement?

I come from a long line of military members.  I never served but spent 4 years with the US Secret Service and consider that my "duty to country"!!  I have alot of admiration for those that did the real gig no matter how long or in which branch....again, congratulations

Congratulations John and thanks.

 I did two years in the Air Force before I was given a medical discharge. Most people don't have a clue about the sacrifices people give when in the armed forces.

Congratulations! Two to go?

One more thing Stepside.......with only two years to go before you retire form the Navy..............

Try not to SINK anything, ok?

Congrats John. 18 years is a long time (to me anyways).

What do you do in the Navy (Job Title)?

[Stepside Z]

Newbie, No worries I'm on shore duty.

General, I am an Operations Specialist.

By the way thanks to all for the kind words.
