After 6 Years of Service to You, It's Been a Pleasure
Sshultz460

Posted on 06/23/2002 10:48:29 PM PDT by SShultz460

Well, It's Been a True Pleasure. After 6 years of Active Duty in the USN, I have called it quits. Signed the infamous DD 214, Checked out on Terminal Leave (Use of all leave saved up) and awaiting my Honorable Discharge Certificate. I Have Found It an Absolute Pleasure to Serve the people of the United States of America.

I have Taken a Job that takes Me To a part of this great nation that I have never been where I know absolutly no one, and I am Looking forward to it Greatly. However, I shall never wear the uniform of this nation and that does pain me, but I shall be a warrior of a diffrent cloth, for this day I return to Citizenship in the truest meaning, and will carry the Flag in a diffrent way, but will continue to Serve this Great Nation..

Sorry for the Vanity...Just wanted to Say thank you for letting me Wear the Uniform For so long :)

What a fine post from a very fine person! You sacrificed for 6 years and then thank the nation and the citizens whom you served. It is us who should be thanking you, but I know the rewards will flow your way if indeed they haven't already.

Thanks for serving!

AF 1984-1988

Make notarized copies of that DD-214 and keep the original in a safety-deposit box.

Getting it replaced is a HUGE pain, and when you lose it, you'll need it for sure.

Best wishes to you in your new endeavor, and thank you for serving our country for 6 years. SALUTE!

If you miss the camaraderie of military service, pop in and visit the USO Canteen FReeper Style. Consider this your engraved invitation (though you certainly don't need one)!
