I HAD NO IDEA! I just thought you were Johnny on the spot with the things no one else had the stomach for.
I guess it all makes sense now. You bought ACIDs cause there was a need amongst the men. How could I
not see you were once a First Sgt? Congrats. I know my friend Lee in the service stayed on past 4 years
and told me he was going career. I was thinking he was nuts. Man, I would have been out 9 years ago
AND had a lil pension to boot. Who was the real idiot.

Mike, I have to thank you for your 23 years of service to the U.S.!

I spent my 4 in the Air Force, but decided to go back to my civilian life afterwards. I enjoyed all my time while I was in, so I can appreciate what you wrote in your OP. There's been times that I have wondered how another tour (or more) could have brought more to my life's experiences. I'm so glad you have enjoyed your career!

Welcome to civilian life again! I know you will enjoy your retirement...
