Default New Job
I've not been on much, but I posted a few weeks ago that I was involuntarily discharged from the Coast Guard

Quote:
Long story short: I was involuntarily, yet honorably discharged from the Coast Guard on November 5th. I had 16 years and 4 months in. The reason was High-year tenure, which was because I hadn't advanced past E5 yet. The CG denied my request for a waiver, but, as a "favor" gave me an RE3 re enlistment code, which means I could re-enlist with a waiver. This also meant they didn't owe me separation pay. That waiver was denied a few days later.

A month before christmas, with a 4 month old son, and I got my dd214. No job, no separation pay, and only 4 years until I would have been retirement eligible and a received a pension.

So **** the Coast Guard and the military in general.
I have been on unemployment since then, but yesterday I got a job offer from Northrop Grumman!
I stay here in Buffalo, and I'll get to keep doing Electronics work. I'm pretty excited.
Guess there's something to that whole door/window thing.

Congrats.
When the Coasties not being paid was all over the news I actually wondered what ever became of you.
Hadn't seen you around in years.

Well, at least you/wife/family get some sort of VA benefits.....if you need them, easier to do with your new job though....

ME, I"d be moving south....screw that -50f weather, snow high as mountains/etc....

Congrats on the kiddo, and the new gig! I’m really surprised they can shaft somebody like that, and so sorry they did it to you.

Holy hell. I'm sorry to hear that.

Go check out the National Guard and see if there is a way to get the rest of your 20. It would be a real shame to leave it sitting on the table.

I'm too old to re-enlist now.
USPS is my best bet

Great news. I grew up on Long Island and Grumman was the best place to work . My neighbor was a single digit badge holder. He started working there sweeping floors inthe 1930's and retired as a senior VP of research. They always took care of their people.

BTW the Melbourne FL location is booming as well.
