Let me go off topic for a moment and shout-out all my fellow veterans on NC Preps. Serving was one of the best life decisions that I ever made. If you served please drop your branch of service in the thread.

Thanks for your service everyone!
Did not serve, but thanks to all of you for your service.
Appreciative of the sacrifice of all you gents serving our country
My son will leave June 18th for the Navy and begin his journey of trying to become a seal! He’s been training with one once a month for a while and they are wearing his hind end out already
I’m nervous but proud

Thank you, Veterans, for your service and ultimate sacrifice!
Thank you, Veterans! You are the backbone of our nation.
Thank you to all the veterans that have served. One day is not enough gratitude and appreciation to what every man & woman has sacrificed.
I was in the United States Army, which, I’ll have you know, is one of the only two branches of the United States military along with the Navy. That’s because the Air Force is a corporation and the Marine Corps is a cult.*
I love you crayon eaters, happy birthday by the way!
*I’m not sure how to work the Space Force into this joke, so I’m just going to ignore them.

What’s the odds of us both being ex sailors lol. I used to be a OS2. Did you get a chance to serve on a ship?
USS Coontz DDG 40. Guided Missile Destroyer stationed in Norfolk.
The worst decision I ever made was getting out
Wow. I was stationed on the USS Hayler DD997 out of Norfolk. We were always “haze grey and underway” lol. I regret that getting out decision also. When you are young it is hard seeing the big picture sometimes.
You’re not lying man. I thought it would take forever to pull 20 years.
That went by like a flash.
Much respect my Navy brother.
Shutdown, I don't know how long you were in or how old you are now but I always encourage anyone who might benefit to take a good look at the reserve components. You can still earn a paycheck, buy Tricare for yourself or your family (and a lot cheaper than any other health insurance I've ever heard of) and earn a pension (you probably won't get it until you are 60). There are drawbacks, of course, and I'm glad I'm retired but if you had a four years in the Navy you probably have a lot of points towards a pension and maybe credit for at least five years of service towards retirement (depending on when you entered service and how long you were in).
SEMPER FI Brother!
