Oh I'm not committed to retirement. I've got a carrier tour, after which I'll take a shore duty; and then I'll decide. I've been in 5 1/2 years and I still enjoy it. Might as well keep the job I like, right?
Your post reminded me of Frank the Tank from Old School..."Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time."
But seriously, I think your approach is perfect and as long as you enjoy your job, keep doing it. Just a word of wisdom from someone who was in your shoes a few years ago. Don't be surprised to see yourself looking back over a 20+ year career and wondering where all the time went so fast.
Good Luck and thanks for serving.
