He served his country for more than a decade then was dumped by the Navy.

But after struggling for 9 months without a job, one local sailor says his prayers have been answered, after he came to NewsChannel 3 to tell his story.

He signed on the dotted line to serve his country, but then, the Navy tossed Michael Pitt out, along with 3,000 other sailors picked by the Enlisted Retention Board.

The mechanic and NewsChannel 3 is giving this sailor some much needed good news.
