Veterans please check in here.

19 years active duty Navy. I'm a nuclear trained Machinist's Mate stationed aboard the USS CARL VINSON. I'm considering bringing my factory sealed HPI Mini Nitro RS4 along to build it for something to do in my down time. I spent 6.5 years on the USS NIMITZ and 4.5 years in the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON. I've been stationed in San Diego, Japan, Virginia, and Washington State at Bangor Sub Base. I'm very much looking forward to retiring in a year.

Active duty Navy, E-5, Master at Arms, 11 years.

Kings Bay, GA 2010-2014
Naval Station Norfolk Base Police: 2014-2017
Manama, Bahrain Harbor Patrol Unit: 2017-2019
USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN69): 2019-Present)

Will be transferring back to Naval Station Norfolk in January, and will end my Active Duty contract.

My favorite duty station has been CVN69. I brought her out of the ship yards and we are wrapping up our second deployment. Last years deployment was record breaking (206 days at sea without a port visit, and 4 steel beach picnics), thanks COVID. This deployment ends in a couple days, and luckily, we were able to have 3 port visits. (Pier liberty; Souda Bay, Greece; Duqm, Oman x2) I was able to get my ESWS and EAWS pins, Shellback, work with EOD, and fly in a Helo for a day. Overall, the ship life is unique, and for those of us that have been able to live at sea for months at a time, its going to be bitter sweet knowing that we're going back to the yards and I will never experience sea life again. The views are endless.

[Stigtheone]

So I'm not classed as active service yet, but passed my British Army Selection with Grade A on Sept 14th, waiting for the OK from Occupational Health regarding a previous surgery before I know if I'll be attested and passed into training...

 

[Stigtheone]

OK so I passed all my British Army selection got a Grade A pass.
I've been attested, taken my oath, signed the Official Secrets Act and am now officially part of the British Army.
I've joined the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers as a Recovery Mechanic.
Looking forward the what the future brings, even though I'm Reserve atm, I am going to do as much as I can to serve my Country and get out and deploy as soon as I can.
Thank you for my badge @WoodiE, proud to have it displayed next to my name!!!

So being new to this website I just found this thread. Currently Active Duty (Army) and have worn the uniform for 24 years now. Damn, now that I think about it that is a long time...anyway, what I can say is that I am retiring in roughly 2.5 years. Currently on my third rotation at the Pentagon and work in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Policy). Most of what I work on goes to the hill for Congressional review and has a heavy impact on our Troops who perform the real work over in far off lands.

Thanks for serving!

It was a great time in my life, although bits of it sucked of course.
