Fair winds and following seas! Ooo-RAH!
Ooh-Rah sir! Started out as a four year deal for me. 22 years later, here I am. It's definitely a young mans game. I've been blessed to be a part of the 200,000 gun club fraternity.

Thanks PQ! No matter if you serve 4, or 40...you're still a hero in my book. Any sacrifice when not everyone will do it is special. I just hung on and stuck it out. Thanks!

Ruby, Thank You! I had no idea what I'd gotten myself into at such a young age. I'll tell you, serving in combat is what made it poignant for me. I survived with all my fingers and toes. But, far too many didn't. Thank you!

So what's next?
Thanks Seth! I appreciate it a bunch. I'll be working as a defense analyst for a company supporting Marines starting June 18th. So a few weeks break, then right back at it.

syn, thank you very much. A weird feeling to be 39 and retired. Well, 40 in a few months and starting a second career.
