I am doing well! After serving 5 years as a Navy Submariner my son went back to school and just graduated from college with a BA in English Literature and a BA in Creative writing. His graduation was at Angels Stadium less than 2 weeks ago. He is going on to get his Masters in Library and Information Science. His goal is to become a Librarian and a writer as well. I am just me now. It's been a difficult few years but getting through it. That covid thing sure didn't help. LOL!
Thank you for the remembering my birthday it is greatly appreciated. I hope you are doing well too.

Natal felicitations!
Fair winds and following seas to your son!
He should keep in mind that if he ever goes to work for the federal government, he can get credit for those 5 years in the Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS).
Also the California state and county employee retirement systems under CalPERS may have a similar system where you can "buy back" prior military service to a certain extent, though I am not aware of the specifics or limitations. Something for him to look out for once he earns that second degree.
