SeniorChief,

Excellent work. Sacrifice is an easy word to say, but a hard thing to do. I hope you will find a moment every once in a while to check back in to this community for a monetary distraction from the serious and necessary work that you do to keep the rest of us safe. Thank you for your service and be safe.

Mike

Nice work, I am going to miss you try to login to say hello if you can. God speed.

Senior Chief that is a 4.0 job Sailor. Great looking chest.

Don’t mean this in a negative way – I sincerely appreciate your service, but what a difference from the time I was discharged from the Navy in 1967. I was a Navy Corpsman and was shocked when I returned to the States to find that most people (not all) did not appreciate the valuable contributions that the Military personnel had made to their freedom. It’s very rewarding today to see the sense of Patriotism and Appreciation displayed for the sacrifices made by our Servicemen and women.

Anchors Away my Boy and stay safe!
