Navy medical, but also had the honor of serving with the Marines

9th Marines
USS Gurnard (nuke sub)
USS Jouett (cruiser)
USS Callaghan (destroyer)
USS Pluck (minesweeper)
George Washington University (military PA training)
2nd Marines

I got out short of retirement to attend grad school. The plan was to go back at some obscene civil service paygrade and finish out my 20 or 30 years, but then I met a fascinating woman from Vermont...and plans changed.
