Spent 12 years in the Navy as a submarine nuke mechanic, supervisor, and instructor before a medical discharge. Now I am a senior technical writer for a firm in the power industry (effectively what I do is tell companies what they've bought, how it works, and how to run it). I've been doing this for 8 years, picked up a B.S. in business management with a concentration in finance in the meantime and got serious about investing when I got out of the Navy.
Current goal is to be at least semi-retired in ~9 years (lots of 2-3 month contract gigs out there for my line of work).
So the Navy was a good career move for you.
