Well...it's been a great ride serving in the Air Force these last 25 years. Bittersweet only because the team I closed out my career with, is chock-full of rockstars who I enjoyed working with the last two years. Multiple combat deployments, leading Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines; squadron command, deputy group commander, and then wing director of staff; I have no regrets. My family endured my time away, but then enjoyed living in overseas for 3 years. Now I have 110 days to chill out, ramp up, and then find a second career (I have a few leads)...and deal with the VA in my "spare" time. Part of the "chill out" plan involves horseback riding, of which I have a 13 year old quarterhorse waiting on me, who I ride 2-3 days a week already. | ||

Why don’t you fix your little problem and light this candle |
congratulations. I dont know what my plan will be. I have threatened to do something silly, like get a camper and follow the NASCAR circuit for a year Or visit baseball parks. This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it. -Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Joshua Painter Played by Senator Fred Thompson | |||

I did. I can honestly say, I've lived the dream. I thought I was going to retire at 20 years and 1 day, but I've been fortunate to be offered additional jobs to stay. My secondary goal was to stay until 28 years of service. Unfortunately, after multiple injuries and surgeries, I can no longer serve in a deployed capacity, so it was time for me to go. | |||
