Life after the Navy!

[FriskyFleabag]

Ill keep this intro pretty short. I have been an automotive technician for most of my adult life. I have a passion for cars/motorcycles like no other. I am an ASE Master Tech and specialized in auto/manual transmissions. After getting a little bored working on the same old cars, I made a different turn in my life. I joined the Navy.

In the Navy I have moved around a few times, got to see a few places, and learned how to work under stress. I have also learned that I don't want to do this for the rest of my life. Fast forward 4 1/2 years and Ive made the decision that there is more to life and I'm ready to pursue it. In 3 months Ill be out.

I'm going to utilize the free college and earn a degree. I have started a part-time transmission repair shop, but I don't see it being anything more than temporary. Just something to pay the bills while I'm in college.

How many of you served in the military and "made it" in the civilian world?

Don't limit yourself by focusing on veterans too much.

That's a good point. Thank you.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years? And are the actions you are taking going to get you there?

That is precisely what I asked to myself when I turned 30; made me realize my job was taking me somewhere I didn't want to go!
