"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Congrats on getting to the Army finish line. Hopefully you figured out what you want to do when you grow up. Don't forget to PT, there are too many fat retired guys walking around.

Congrats on 28 years of service. The civilian world is far different, but it has its upsides as well. Good luck.

Congrats and welcome to the life of a military retiree.
Prepare for much less stress and a easier way of life. I laugh at the civilians I work with now that stress out on silly things.
I was in your shoes 5 years ago after 26 years on active duty.

Now you will feel like the weight of the world has been lifted from your shoulders. Now you are responsible for no one other than your family and yourself. In about a year, you will begin to miss being in a position of leadership and being able to use your skills in a role of responsibility. Enjoy your retirement! And congratulations!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Johnny 3eagles,
