Odd timing.
On the day Dan leaves for the Marines, Charles called with the official news that he is being released from the Navy, and is off the Dallas.
The top and bottom of it is it turns out he doesn’t do well on submarines, and it’s submariners the Navy needs most right now, as the surface fleet is being cut back, with ships being decommissioned and crews shrunk. The doctor recommended he be released, so today he was moved off the boat to a processing building, and should be back in Texas in June.

June? Why does it take so long?
I’m sorry that the service didn’t work out for him and that so far college hasn’t been the answer either. I hope he’ll give college another try though. Perhaps his experiences this past year have matured him to the point where he can get more out of it.
I have no idea why it takes so long to process someone out of the Navy. Sure doesn’t take that long to process ‘em in, does it?
