Other Comments:

If you are wondering, the RED chevrons and hash marks are not a mistake. Finally went to CO's mast at my 19 and a 1/2 year mark. Not proud of it, but "stuff" happens. The good news? It doesn't affect the retirement check one bit! LOL

Home sweet home!  

Can't say that I miss the Navy, like some of my shipmates do. I do miss my Sailors and fellow CPO's. However, I saw a downward trend coming and am glad I retired this year.
