USNavy vet here, I also live in Michigan.

I was an Airedale so not a black-shoe here. Spent most of my time TAD, great duty. The JFK was more comfortable than a destroyer... ha ha. One might say I lived my childhood dream, aerospace avionics, and loved it.

Tomorrow I am taking a break from my battles with the VA and hit Applebee's.

Thanks for starting this thread.........
Good Catch on "Me Not changing my Location" The Wife Hauled me out to UTAH so the kids can help hauling me in and out of the hospital.
Want to THANK everybody that jumped in and "THANKING the VET'S"

US Army, '70-'73. Ft Polk LA, Ft Sill OK, Phu Loi RVN. Remembering my Army buddies today. Those who made it back, and those still "on patrol".

EDIT: I also spent most of my career as a federal civilian at Kings Bay SUBASE, GA maintaining Trident missiles/subs. Worked with many Sailors and Marines.
