Rip that's the reason I Retired. I was on the E8 Promotion list and would have made it in Feb '95..I left in Jan'95 terminal leave until 1 Apr '95.
I promised myself if it wasn't fun anymore it was over.. hit that spot at the 17 year mark. Shaving in the mirror with a sharp edge razor and thinking is it all worth it anymore...NOT good. Tottally frustrated. Ended up in Huachuca,AZ in a frikken Sig Bn that had a short fat black female SGM that couldn't run, jump or be an NCO yet she thought she was the "Cream of the NCO Corp".
The day I put my Retirement paperwork in we argued.. she tried to convice me that there were no jobs out there for me and it was best for me to stay... I laffed are her dumb asss.
The day I left they had a Parade for awards and ceromonies.. my name was mentioned, so I'm told. I left and found a job makin decent $$$... heard she retired and got a job with UPS.
I got the last laff
Just a lil more of Mac.
