I've change from a big ship builder/fixer to a Federal employee. That way I get to salvage 10 years of Coast Guard (Military) active duty.....Back in the 70's and 80's when I was in we didn't get paid squat so buying in was dirt cheap. The first Gov't retirement check in about 3 years will have me ahead of the game.
I'm sorry I lied it will be the second check ;<)
