For anyone who is still reading, I received my DD-214 today. This is my official statement of service, the one that says that I am "U.S. Navy, retired". (My actual retirement date was last Wednesday, but since I am in Florida, the DD-214 had to be mailed to me, which took a couple of days.) What a strange 20 years it has been...

I will be moving to Gainesville, Florida next week. I had hoped to have been moved by this point, but I had a few hiccups which delayed my move for about three weeks. I will be back to posting daily after the end of February, once I am moved and unpacked and settled in. I will be severely updating and pruning the blogroll, and will change my bio and picture (which is 4 years and about 35 extra pounds out of date). I've actually had a lot to say, but was way too busy getting ready to retire to spend time on blogging.
