Military Retirement Looms
On Seth's birthday, August 5th, Brad will be recognized at a Navy retirement ceremony. He will have served over 27 years combined in the Regular Army, Army Individual Ready Reserve (IRR), and Navy Selected Reserve (SELRES). The two and a half IRR years were passive and non-uniformed, except for one two-week training assignment at the old Balboa Hospital. This means he served 24+ years in actual uniform. Brad, with mixed feelings, will hang up his uniforms for the last time on September 30, and turn his attention to other activities.
