On May 6th I'll start my terminal leave and will be offically retired from the Air Force on 1 Aug. When it's all said and done, I will have served 24 years, 3 months and 1 day. It's been a great ride having traveled to 13 countries.
I'm going to relax the entire month of May and going to start looking for work the beginning of June I'll be getting my regular pay until Aug 1. I 've had a few offers locally but I want to go overseas for a year so I can pay off our house.

Shoot me a PM with your contact info. We have folks in 5 countries as FSR now. It is a good deal if you do not mind being in another country. It is a 1 year deal
If it jams force it! If it breaks it needed replacing anyway.

Congratulations on the retirement! I know a few guys that had over 20 years in a the services. They miss traveling and drive over the road now.

Thats awesome and congrats!!!
I'll hit 20 this year...and I'm deploying again in July.
Those 6 month trips are getting kinda old, the family is also getting tired of it.
Some days I just don't get excited to go to work...I think thats a sign.
I don't harvest animals, I kill them...I don't take a Combine hunting!!!
