January the 6th, 1986 was my last day in the Navy.
My favorite Christmas Song in December 85 was "All I want for Christmas is my 214"

In my mind you were close. On the other hand, I kind of feel kinship in your not making BG.
I've recounted some of my experience here - a range of mediocre/poor bosses sprinkled with the odd guy or gal who seemed to have things put together.
That last one, though, really took the cake. I was a senior captain when he was commissioned and THIS is who they stuck me with at the end. I was already on the glide path to retirement when he came in, but I would occasionally catch myself giving a $hit for my guys and the mission.
Anyway, I can always say, "I took no positive/affirmative action in order to attempt to get promoted to O-6, other than apply for War College." I never applied for any battalion commands and I didn't even certify my board file was complete. So, in way, I rejected them before they could reject me.
Good times...

Miss the people. Do not miss the stress and unreasonable expectations.

You would have been similar to Scott McKean as a GO.

I wonder if Pukelosi is willing to testify under oath in the part she played in declining Trump's offer for additional National Guard troops on 01/06/21?
She "recused" herself from testifying way back when...possibly on the 5th of Jan.
