Navy guys..question..

[rattlsnak]

A friend is trying to get a hold of a former buddy of his that has a desk job at Millington near Memphis and was wondering if there was a directory list of phone numbers or email addresses where he can look him up? He knows the job title he has.. or maybe a general base contact number? He is not former military and neither am I so have no clue how someone could get that info if at all?

Millington is Bureau of Naval Personnel. Actually a neat place.

I did a tour there, commuted from DC.

They should be able to find him. If not, I can get a friend of mine to do a search.

Well that worked!! He found him right away! Thanks!!

That is great. BUPERS does a few things well - who to talk to is one.

Glad I could help!

Quick work Paul. I was about to call a friend who is an INTEL Detailer.

Mondays are our big engineering/admin meeting days so I dabble a lot in PP.

It is funny, I went to Millington kicking and screaming as the AEDO Detailer. I was a CDR and they were not asking...it is a plumb assignment, just one I didn't want.

It was and remains, beyond all the cool flying stuff, the quals, the other fleet stuff, the most informative tour I spent...the reason I declined the next level.

Nothing bad, I just knew rest of the story.

Fully understood Paul. I hated the BN Command assignment idea I received as a LTC. Turned out to be awesome. Sometimes we never know. On a note, movers are here today for our last move; starting retirement leave on the 26th. 34 years and 29 days. Hooah!

Congratulations, and Thank You for your service! Now you can find a hobby you love and really enjoy that.

[Hard-Deck]

Rika, thank you friend. Hopefully we can meet up again in SA. Our last encounter was too short, but a great time with the bird. Ha!

GH85Carrera: many hobbies are in-place. Two Porsches, a stable of motorcycles, Airstream, Trawler. Travel, hiking, SCUBA. It’s going to be a blast! Thank you!

Where are you headed?

Paul, we are headed to our house in ID. Traveling from there when C19 subsides.

Very cool.

Congratulations, btw. You have had a remarkable career; amazing, really.

Whatever you decide, I am sure it will be a second chapter as well done as the first.

Best.

Thanks again Paul. I will write a short thread here when I finally retire on 31 DEC. Proud to Serve. -Snapper of Mesopotamia

Thanks for your many years of service to our wonderful country Snapper. This country depends on people like you to survive and thrive. You and I went in about the same time only I was enlisted and served about 30 years less than you but always looked up to the long termers.
Hope you have a great retirement and get to do all the things you’ve planned.

[Hard-Deck]

Bigtoe: Thank you Sir! My mantra is that it does not matter how long you served; thank you for your service. I give credit the day a person raises their hand as most people do not even get to that moment in life.

Nearly 3 and a half decades of service; thank you for each and every day.
You served in "interesting times".
And a very special thank you for your family!
God Bless.

Thanks Danimal. I could not have chosen a better, more fulfilling career for myself. I will pass your kind thoughts to my family. If I have never thanked you; THANK YOU! I do remember when you last returned from the Middle East. Yep, almost 3.5 decades, started during Reagan years. Much has changed. Much remains the same. I will now do what my mom always told me to do, “Go outside and play”.
