Hey brother! No, it ain't my birthday... I have no idea where stever@cbid was going with that. He lost me. Anyway... yep, I can (and plan to) retire from the Navy in 2 years.

Got a job for me?

Will that be twenty years in the service? I'm not sure that I can help with the job as we don't do business in SoCa. Completely different plant mix from what we carry. Now, Washington state; maybe?

Yeaup. That'll be 20. I was joking about the job.

The city I live in contracts their police force from the county Sheriff's department. It was established in the 1800's, but wasn't incorporated until 1989. They drive cars that say Temecula Police and wear uniforms that say the same, but they are in fact, Riverside County Sheriffs... anyway, the recruiter thinks I am a shoo-in, my neighbor is a retired SDPD and will refer me and I sometimes smoke cigars with one of their homicide detectives, so I should be fine.
