 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

I was a GSEC who happened to be an LCAC Craftmaster for the last 6 years of my career. I really enjoyed my job as a hovercraft driver. At times though, I wish I had gone back to a ship, but I was pretty well spoiled in the life of a shipboard passenger and wanted to keep it that way. I officially transferred to the Fleet Reserves on 1Mar09. I've been home with my family in Opelika, Alabama since 13Dec08. I have had three jobs since I retired and none of them really worked for me. I was working on my degree in Human Resource Management, thanks to the VA's VR&E program. In September 2011 I accepted a position with my current employer. It was just too good to pass up. So far, so good with Marinette Marine. Great organization, great people, great benefits. Just wish it wasn't so far away from home and the family. 
   
Other Comments:

Transition from Navy chief to civilian is a difficult one. One that requires a lot of self analysis, discipline and focus. What surprised me more though was how my whole family has had to deal with the transition as well. They miss the lifestyle just as much as I do.
