I was active duty and the Navy separated me under the Perform To Serve (PTS) Program in March of 2012. I joined the reserves to continue my career and still have some stability in my life. The Reserves has helped me to get back on active duty orders as FTS, make rank, take care of my family, buy a home and continue with my career. I used the reserves to get back on my feet by getting on short term orders, during funeral honors, volunteering, and even taking classes. I am now half way through my Master’s Degree (using Navy TA) with a total of 22 ½ years in. I’m about 2 years from retirement. The NAVY has been good to me.
