Review:

I enjoyed every bit of the Navy, like every job it had its pros and cons. work life was good, great schedule. your chain of command did for you as long as you did for them. the only down fall about the navy is they think of you are not a person but a Maid. 11 years in so close to retirement then involuntarily separated me, on a “new” program called the ERB *Enlisted Retention Board*. Not even telling me why they were kicking me out.
