Oh yeah, whast the sign on period for the puss over there?

it is (or was) 20 years...

After 20 years of active service a US service member can start collecting retirement. A Reservist qualifies for retirement at the same time but can not start collecting until they reach 65 [hopefully they will change that soon]

A basic first enlistment is 4 years unless you have committed to a long training pipeline in which case it will be 6 years. When I initially enlisted I obligated for 2 years of school [Nuclear Electrician] followed by 4 years of service.

BerserkBishop are you training to be a conventional MM or a Nuke? Did you volunteer for Submarine Service [which "sort of" has its own tartan already as discussed elsewhere on this board]?

best of luck, Chief

I'm sure his G-Grandfather would be proud of him also.
