12 years in...

Afternoon, DTR.


I didn't post this up yesterday, but still wanted to share it with my extended family.

I hit 12 years in the Corps yesterday, almost half way there. A lot of you have been friends with me through my career, so I just wanted to say thanks for supporting me and my fellow warriors.


Semper!!!!

I know you weren't, but you should be proud! Staying at ANYTHING for a long period of time is admirable in and of itself as far as I'm concerned!

Heck, it's about 11 years and 8 months longer than I'VE ever lasted at anything!

I must apologize for some reason I thought you were a lot older...

Thanks for all your dedication to keeping this country free. By the way, what is it you do in the Corps, that is if you can say....
