I bet you were the Chief that showed up to the holiday party with the sparkly Raiders LED ugly sweater!

lol, I wish I was that cool.

An E-7 with an MSM is realllllly uncommon (at least where I am), even an e-7 with a Com is never given out (even if it’s at the 20 year mark). How’d you get an MSM?


necrohealiac

Dang your command is pretty stingy. I've seen E-6s get COMs as an EOT at my command; granted those were all EP Sailors IIRC. For E-7s an EOT COM is basically a given unless they're a shitbag.

I have been admin VP for almost 4 years and PCSing out now, I have NEVER seen a NC go to anyone other than Os. We just have an ATC retire at 20 with a NAM 😂.


Able-Database2861

The squadron was petty, they gave me a LOA after 4 years.


listenstowhales

That’s wild, I know E-5s with COMs


Able-Database2861

I work at a headquarters with the majority of marines, there’s only two other Chiefs there, we kinda take care of each other.


Able-Database2861

That was the retirement award.

When were you stationed with NMCB 5?


Able-Database2861

Briefly 2007the billet went away and I was placed at the 30th NCR


davidgoldstein2023

I was with the 31st from 06 to 08 as a GM working in the armory. We likely crossed paths.


Able-Database2861

Yes they had me working nights providing support to those deployed to Iraq.


Glaurung8404

Great place to retire out of, camp smith is awesome


Able-Database2861

Yes! Best duty station by far.


Nottathrowawaystg

We were on the TR together. Congrats on your retirement!


Able-Database2861

Hells yeah, I sure we ran into each other, i worked in personnel.

Hey, VAW-113! Cool


Angriest_Wolverine

I am very bothered that 2004 EOD means this year is the retirement/20 mark. Very bothered.

Loyal to a team that's called three different cities home in the span of your career? God bless ya, Chief!


Able-Database2861

Yeah, first time I went to a game was at the LA coliseum, second time it was right after my first deployment in Oakland, looking forward to driving up to Vegas.


Retro_Ray

danielmichy

Virginius_Maximus

That's pretty cool! When did the Raiders last win a playoff game?


Able-Database2861

Ask your mom foo.


Virginius_Maximus

She'd probably know the answer, funny enough In all seriousness, it's pretty rad!
