Congrats on your pending retirement Chief. I've been retired 2 years and time does fly. I truly miss my military family. Like some have said, enjoy your time off. I miss Utah!!!!
I will be 1 year behind you. Same situation. May look at some of the vocational opportunities in school the VA offers. Become a full time student for 4 years or so.
Got the notice today that my retirement was approved for 1 May next year.
This will be 30 years of active duty. With my terminal and permissive leave, my last day at work will be in January sometime.
My retirement ceremony will be in January or February.
I can't believe how fast time has passed. I will be 48 years old next month and have 30 years in one career down. Don't know what I will do with myself after I leave the military, its all I have ever known my adult life...enlisted at 17 years old. Guess I will find me some easy civilian job so I can concentrate on my hobby--mustangs. :rockon: :beer: With 75% of my base retirement pay as a Chief and VA Disability, I will be looking for a low stress job...won't need a lot of money.
Wow...it has just went so fast...
