I enjoy your posts, you're a good egg.
I've often wondered, how high up you were in the Navy?

I've got the impression, you were a big shot

I was not much of a big deal. I retired as an O-5 (Lt Col equivalent) before I put on Captain eagles. Had a three phase career. 8 years as a surface navy shipdriver, 4 years operational intelligHWHence (hunt for Red October), then got an MBA on the navy’s dime and spent last 8 years in money jobs, first at navy, then DIA (worked for General Clapper), then kind of hybrid OSD job. I ended up working for so many guys that made Admiral (which is real achievement) really had a unique/charmed career. Oh, my USNA best friend rose to a very high level of the navy, too.
