It's Official

Partagaspete · 04-17-2010, 08:28 AM

On 09 July 2010 I will don the A.F. uniform for the last time. I have my retiremnt ceremony set for the afternoon. It has been a long journy that has been wonderful. I have made so many great friends and had a so many great experiences that I cannot even count. But through this all I raised three wonderful kids all in college. two living here and one in Fla. The one thing I will miss most is working as an IDMT in a deployed environment but it is time to move on to my new life. Wish me luck in finding a job.

Thanks for all the comments I appreciate it to say the least.

I bought a house so I am locked into this area and the market is not so good yet. I am hoping to get a nice simple GS-4/5 (civilian) job on base and just enjoy life.

Ferdinand,
It was in my plans to retire 1 to 2 years after I got back and bought a house.
I had an epiphany last novemeber. If I retireand get that GS4/5 job I will be working a tenth as hard and making at least the same $$$. Time was right.
