wow
the US Navy could use a man like you.
ever thought of signing up?
then you could be a real civil servant.
I did 6 years as an FC.
man you could get a real good slot in the active duty navy making killer money.

6 years is weak, dude. I took 23 years to get mine. You really need to learn to hang in there longer.

I hear ya! Man, six years is short-time. It took me 19 1/2 years to get my Associates!!

Working on my Bachelor's now.

That whole life thing got in the way.

Seriously though,
Congrats!!

Placed in perspective, sure..We should NEVER stop learning, should we? Even after college, the education is ongoing. And yessir, life sure does get in the way.
hell -- I'm 54 and have taken 4 cert/recert coarses since February. Stay ahead of the curve, and you'll be fine.

Thanks for all the congrats. I am now looking at getting my masters in Systems Engineering. We do a lot of Engineering/Planning for the navy and with a Master's they will pay some big bucks. I work for what you can call a big Navy Engineering think tank. I will work on the masters over a few years taking classes as I can. The Navy will actually pick up the tab for me as I go along, which is great. They consider it progressive training to keep up with the technology etc...
