In looking at Michael's duty assignments, it becomes apparent that he didn't retire because of time served, but rather from the fact they ran out of submarines and shore stations to send him to.

It is also good to see he plans his career up till the very end. I think in another 20 years I will be building a web page for all Plankowners that now greet customers at Wal-Mart!
