If I had stayed in and did 20 there would have been nothing left to retire. Though I enjoyed my time, 4 years was defintely ENOUGH. For me. There are also Veterans benifits that I forgot to mention they can be very helpful post- service.
High Tide were they still doing ocean station 30/60 day patrols on your 378'? Sitting on a single spot in the ocean no matter what gets thrown at you was not something I wanted to do, so I did my very best (&worst) to stay put in Rockaway.
