Congratulations Sir.


Good luck with whatever your next career will be. Will you keep your commission and stay in the Reserves?

Nope, resigned and bid farewell to the Army. It was fun, but according to TRF, there is a great life to be had after the Army

I bought my 16610 Sub brand new for $2,100 through AAFES Europe on my way home right after the 1st Gulf War. I still have all the original boxes, receipts, stickers, tags, warranty papers, books , etc. No matter how many other Rolexes I get, I will keep this one and pass on to my son when I'm gone. I wish I could still buy a new one for that price.
