Today was my last day as a sailor (petty officer) for the Hellenic Navy. The people in the General Staff office we wonderful, and especially the protocol office - who gave me wonderful Hellenic Navy cufflinks as a parent. I want to wish all the best to all my fellow ex-sailors. As we say in Greece: "the hard part begins from now on". I must decide whether I will continue to pursue an academic career or look for a job in the open market.
As my tour of duty in the Hellenic Navy is at the end, it's time to recapitulate on my military service - and get rid of the blue camo design! All in all it was a huge experience, but not always pleasant.
It all began with training in Poros (also known as Poros Resort - and for a reason), which was great, since I was lucky enough to be with some great people. Then, there was a bad 3 month period in Crete as a tugboat mechanic. And then there was my last placement in the General Staff's Office as a barrista! Anyway, it's time to look into the future...
