Retirement Ceremony - I'm now one of you!
My retirement ceremony was yesterday. A sad day leaving the military after 30 years. I look forward to my life as one of you...a civilian.
Regards, Tony

Andrew, thanks for the kind words. I will be working on the same naval base, doing the same thing, except as a civilian government employee. My past Commanding Officer recommended me for the job. They called me, asked for my resume, and I got the job without an interview.
Looking forward to my new job!
Regards, Tony

USS CARON (DD 970). Commissioned 1 October 1977. Decommissioned 15 October 2001. Prematurely sinks off the coast of Puerto Rico as a result of explosives tests.
This was my first ship (1979-1982)
