Happy Friday!

It's Friday. It's been a busy week, but I haven't spent a single minute in the office.

So where have I been?

I've been attending transition assistance classes this week. That's right. I've been spending the last five days learning how to write an effective resume, dress for success, and ace that interview. Now all I need to do is figure out exactly what I want to do when I get out of the Corps.

Wait, what?

Yes, I am getting out of the Marines. I have applied for authority to transfer to the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve. In other words, I am asking to retire at the end of February. Why that particular date? Well, there are a couple of reasons.

First, I think it will be pretty cool to have a retirement date of February 29. In the Corps all enlisted service members retire at the end of the month. The second reason is that I departed for the famed yellow footprints at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Perris Island, South Carolina in February, 1992. That means that I will have completed 20 years of service and it's time to do something else.

So, if you know of someone, or happen to be someone, looking for an experienced career counselor with years of office administration experience, give me a call.

Have a great weekend!
