*and the villagers rejoiced PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I'm really happy for this outcome. Yes, a little extra paperwork but people have no idea what it means when your country says, "Thank you for your service, here is your honourable discharge" after all that she had been through. Truly a powerful moment! Thank you for keeping us informed.
