What are you doing now: I retired from the Navy in 2003 with my wife, Linda by my side; retiring from Yokosuka, Japan after spending seven years at COMSUBGRU 7. We settled in Courtland, Virginia, purchased a nice 2-story home, on 2 acres of wooded land, with a very large pond located approximately 200 feet from our back door.  It is very peaceful and we are surrounded by wildlife. Â
