Sequestration may not be good for the navy, and the job security is getting scary. But I do get to spend more time with my new wife, and more time and money on my Jeep wheeling and upgrading. My ship is 30 years old and most frigates are starting to cost more to upkeep then they are worth. Makes sense that they navy would halt them first. The Navy can and will retrain, resize and regroup. Downsizing is to be expected as we pull out of the wars.

The civilian world isn't so bad. I found a job pretty quick and it's a good place to be should you ever decide to get out. I do love my freedom, although now I'm in the Reserves, and while they may be....... testing at times, it keeps me from missing the military too much. Now I just need to get enough vacation time so I can head to MOAB for EJS! :beer:

Very glad you're not going, though I'm certain the sea pay would have been nice. Yep now there's time for the Rubicon.

Hell yes, still waiting for official word that we were cancelled, but I would love to draw up some dates and get a plan rolling.

My father got RIF'd (Reduction In Force is what they called it then) after Korea and I saw it coming for me after Vietnam. I reluctantly left after five years, got a civilian job, and built my '49 CJ street rod. I hope you get the chance to call your own shots either way and build your JK. Thanks for your service and all the best!:yup:

I'm going to be watching this thread for sure. Sounds like GasStationGuy is heading up there in July. I need to get a block of dates so I can request the leave. Anything around the 4th is a no-go.
