Officially retired today
« on: May 01, 2009, 07:09:27 PM »
Today was my official retirement date from the USAF.  Went and got the new blue retired ID card today.  Seems weird, 24 years flew by. I am lucky enough to have picked up a job doing the exact same thing that I did while I was on active duty, only difference is I wil be home more ( I'm sure the wife will grow to regret that).

Thank you so much for your service!

I doubt the wife will regret you being home more. Mine retired about 4 years ago and it hasn't stopped being a joy to see him every day. :)
