Congratulations sir. You are a true Lifer.

I might add that when I left one sub the chiefs and some officers gathered in crews mess to say goodbye. When I was asked to say something, I could not think of anything, so I mooned them. Surprisingly the XO had a sense of humor and said he missed the opportunity to use the plaque he was presenting appropriately. This was the XO whose door I stole mid-winter with the weapons hatch just above pouring cold air into his stateroom. He was not happy and made the watch section clean the boat until it was found. If he knew he did not let on.

Rather than attempted to lower their 50% above average electric rates with nuclear, Massachusetts is instead pushing energy storage for use against peak rate times....

Aside from the need, no US regional area is better suited geographically to embrace nuclear power.

Was planning on retiring for over a year. Elon gave me the 7-month golden handshake and I jumped with 30% of my group. We were all due. Feels weird with no badge.
Have always played too much golf for my wife, so that hasn't changed.
