Not in the military, but do 33+ years with the DoD as a civilian count? (Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command and Air Combat Command)

Retired in 1998 after 21 years as a Marine Corps criminal investigator with multiple tours overseas. Served with Marine Corps military police, CID, and NCIS. I worked out in Nevada for a year after retirement, then returned to the Defense Department as a civilian. Been with DoD ever since....Great gig
