Retirement, it's a tough job but somebody's got to do it.


Good for you Mav! :aok Now get your retired butt up to WA state so we can tour the Museum of Flight and tip a few. :)

Hmmm, As an USAF Flight Surgeon I work 0700 to 1600 three days a week in a nice new medical facility. One half day a week I spend visiting other "shops" on base. I fly in any USAF aircraft with more than one seat at least once a week and get paid to do it. Federal holidays off, competative pay. Easy call schedule. No malpractice fees. I live in base housing and pay no utilities. Commissary, health club, BX, golf course, bowling alley, O-club,  privledges. All expense paid trips around the world. Medical continuing education paid for. I'm about to be retrained into another medical specialty with a combined masters degree. Don't worry about amount of sick leave I have because I'm paid if sick and can't work (better than Aflak), 30 days leave. Non contribution retirement package. Medical insurance. Awesome coworkers who volunteered to serve our country. Dependant family members who understand what sacrifice means. Healthy patients. Oh, and free rectal exams:aok

Rip,

I'm headed west this year so keep it in mind later in the summer. This year we want to hit the NW part of the country and Washington is on the list.

:aok  If you got a camper or RV, I'm set up for that. Our backyard looks like a campsite complete with a firepit. I even have a sewage hook up. You'll have a deck that overlooks the White River Elk Preserve from 100 feet up and faces the Cascade Mountain range. You'll be centrally located, 25 miles from Mount Rainier, 25 miles from Seattle. You're more than welcome to stay here as long as you desire if you have a camper.

Rip,

I really do appreciate the offer but our "camper" and tow vehicle combination is about 62' long. I'd send a picture but don't have a hosting site for it. Check your PM's.

This may or may not be seen as a perk, but I just left a meeting where another clinet has invited me to swim with sharks off the Great Barrier Reef...in a cage of course.  Not sure when I will get out there, but I will definately need to go at some point on business.

No worries, I sit on 1 acre. I'm 48' long and navigate in the backyard just fine with room to spare.
