Finally Free

[tinymontgomery]

After 23 years in the Navy this administration finally drove me out with their bull. I knew about 6 months after they stole the election I needed to get out. Couldn't stand serving under a deserter or a bunch of chickenhawks.

Got my DD214 today and now I'm free to say "kiss my ass bush and all you right wing traitors." I sure hope you all end up in jail!!!!!!!!

1. Good for you

:). What rank did you discharge at?

[tinymontgomery]

4. I'm what is know as a mustang

retired as a Lieutenant Commander. Went from Chief to Officer ranks 13 years ago, back before the repubs started claiming that all military personnel were repubs.

2. Thank you for 23 years of service to our country. The Navy rules.

<Tip to my dad and nephew> Welcome back to the
civilian world. I hope you have a good life and
do what you need to do to be happy. Help us
oust the regime. 'K?

Hugs,

3. Congratulations and thanks for your service!

You have now regained the freedom of speech you lacked while in the military defending that same freedom for the rest of us.

5. Congratulations Sir! Of course, now your have your certificate

of service with *'s signature on it. Bleeech.
All you have to do is "lose" it during an admistration you like, and they will make another one.

Enjoy the world. It is a strange place.

17. It was pretty funny

at my retirement ceromony, all my rightwing co-workers started cracking up laughing as my discharge was read and they said * name. They all knew how I felt. Even I had to smile as they came to the name.

6. I echo the sentiments here

Congrats, welcome and thanks for your service to us all. Don't go taking a job with a defense contractor now.

10. Just one thing you now have to deal with, Commander...

no one has to salute you or stand at attention in your presence anymore... :evilgrin:

[tinymontgomery]

13. It's a two way street

It's a two way street, I also don't have to salute or stand at attention in certain peoples presence anymore. It also was not all that great anyway.

15. Welcome to civilian life.

I got out of the Navy in 1974. It takes about a year to adjust to civilian life.

16. See, there are lots of us Ex-squids here on DU

Even though I retired from the USCG, I spent my first 4 in the Navy, as a Hosptial Corpsman with the USMC. Now you see why I moved to the CG?

20. Thanks for your service, and welcome to civilian life.

Congratulations on the whole mustang thing. All the best officers I served with, including my tank platoon leader in the Gulf, were Mustangs. My dad was also a mustang. I'm pretty proud of that. I was not. I went into the Army as a private E-1, and got out as a Sergeant E-5. Thank you for everything. Now get out there and show those 'pukes that Democrats are brave, patriotic Veterans, too!
