EAOS: End of Active Obligated Service..can’t believe it’s here already 😲 

my time in the Navy was full of ups and downs...discipline, struggle, frustration, pride, and accomplishment. it gave me more than i ever expected: real friendships, a deep sense of purpose, and that unique bond you only get through service...

looking back, it feels like it flew by. but every place I served, i gave it my all. i’d like to think i left each one a little better than when i got there ...doing my part to protect what matters and help keep the peace in the following duty stations....

Apr 2005 – Jun 2005: Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, IL
Aug 2005 – Dec 2008: USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63), Yokosuka, Japan
Jan 2009 – Jan 2013: USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62), Yokosuka, Japan
Feb 2013 – Jan 2016: Training Support Center, Great Lakes, IL
Feb 2016 – May 2018: Coastal Riverine Squadron TWO, Little Creek, VA
Aug 2018 – Aug 2021: USS Frank Cable (AS 40), Apra Harbor, Guam
Oct 2021 – Jun 2025: FACSFAC San Diego Det Pearl Harbor, HI

What a ride.....last 20 years 🙂 
Fair winds and following seas ⚓
