#1: OBG is RIGHT!!!

#2: PC and the politicalized atmosphere @ work (District HQ Staff) were some of the road signs that told me when it was time to retire from the USCG!

#3: The cancelling of my retirement, 6 months extention of active duty, in order to attend the Balkens War; reporting overseas w/24hrs notice, after being told by my Detailer that I was no longer considered "Deployable", WAS the proverbial writing on the wall!!

Oh the joy of having combat experience when very few others did!!!
