I retired in Sept 2006 after serving 29+ years on active duty as an Aerospace Maintenance Duty Officer at the rank of US Navy Captain (O-6). We have lived all over the United States including Hawaii and we settled in southern Maryland. The highlight of my service was the opportunity to serve with our enlisted men and women - the heart and back bone of our armed services.
