Hey Man I know what you mean. I just got my pink slip last weds. and I had put on LTJG taht monday. And the news has finally reached the navy times, 418 JO's surprise separations, and they are talking no severance pay either. Sometimes it makes you want to say F@#K the Navy. But what can you do you know? I'm looking at the Air Force better qaulity of life, and NCIS. As for the Coast Gaurd they are now under the department of homeland defense, pretty good organization to be under.
Good Luck to you.
LTJG HALL
