Comments: Just checking in. Can't remember if I updated my email address when I changed it last year...again. Now retired from my civilian job with the state of California and have moved to Arkansas. Dang, should have done this sooner. Born and raised in California but it had gotten so bad over the years I just couldn't stand it anymore. A lot of Army guys around but very few Navy here, though I do appreciate the way they honor their vets in this state. Been many times I've opened my wallet to pay for something and if they see my military ID card it's immediately, "What can I do for you, sir?" or, "Did you know we have discounts for our military, sir?" Most times I don't because I never ask. Gotta love the Arkansans!

Comments: Took me longer to go from E7 to E8 than from E1 to E7 (probably a good thing!). Retired in 1975 at 20 years. Since retirement, have worked as a radio station program director and disk jockey; school bus driver and district manager; lumberyard laborer; printing/newspaper company (rose from typesetter to editor of my local weekly paper); back to school bus driver for a few years; then full-time retirement in 1999. Currently an ensign in U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps and executive officer of my local (southern N.H.) unit. I highly recommend anyone -- active, reserve, or retired -- get involved with the Sea Cadets. It is the nation's finest program for youths ages 11-18, and it'll keep you young!
