Message for the new 2 LT: Way to Go LT!

Now about that quiting business your service is sure different from mine, because in mine you only quit when your service obligation time was up with a few unpleasant exceptions.

Yes, sometimes for real eight-ball officers they'd sometimes be encouraged to resign for the good of the service or for severe family crisis with a gravely sick spouse or child they might counsel someone to as part of a family hardship separation resign, but to just up and quit because you didn't get the assignment you put on your Dream-Sheet; not that I recall in my service.

MAJOR, Retired, US Army

Hey Ivan! Good to see you around.

[Mr. Silverback]

Thanks for serving, Major.

A prime example of a legitimate resignation was Jimmy Carter. Resigned from the Navy when his Dad died and he had to go work the farm. Probably a good thing for the Navy.
