No way pal. There is enough inhumanity to my fellow man in the world today :-).

That sounds like a familiar pay grade. In 1983 I entered service as an E4 (NucPower) ... in 1989 I left the service ... as an E4 (motivated ... not) ... anywhoo, my Chief (E7) was forced to undertake the same evolution at my own EAOS. We sat down ... looked at each other ... and simultaneously laughed. He did not want me to stay ... I shared his sentiment.

Civilian life is absolutely all it is cracked up to be. Enjoy yours my friend.
