God bless you and your service is highly obliged.
My Grandfather, James Earl Anderson Sr. was (Deceased now) retired USAF, 21 years. He as well fought alongside you in Vietnam. Matter of fact, he decided to build his family here by Barksdale Airforce Base where I’m still currently located.

I didn’t know about the military rate either. Does it apply on annual renewal too?

@RUGER9 Welcome aboard shipmate. I was on the other end of your spectrum, Submarines, Marines, SPECWAR and I did time on a carrier. I punched out in 09 when the detailer called and told me I made 8 but that my sea shore rotation was going to have to change and I was going back to Trashcanistan for a 12 mos BOTG. I was bouncing off HYT for 7 and was 6 mos back home from Iraq and it would have been my 3rd tour there and I was out of luck. My ship date was August, I pulled the handles July 1, 09 @24. I’ve got a funny little medal that the Commandant of the Marine Corps pinned on me that nets me an extra 10% on my retirement and I never would have seen a look for 9 so I bailed. My Dad had 7 enemy marksmanship ribbons and his fervent hope was that he had done enough for 6 generations and I try not to disappoint.
Cheers,
