Hell yeah. got this in the mail today, retired 30 years from the day that my delayed entry started, and received the certificate 30 years from the day I went into active duty. I was in for 20 years, then in the fleet reserves for 10, and now I'm officially a free man ;D

Whoa! 30 years. I did 4, in uncle Sams canoe club and I thought that was enough I fought it every step of the way. If I had it to do over again now, I'd do it; as I have a different view of things now. Thanks for your service Randy! Well done young man!
