My military career

Well, safe to say - you hung in there!

Thanks for all the years. I hope the next 35 are as satisfying.

Your nation is grateful!

Congrats! 35 is a long time. Just finished up 30 in the Navy last summer. I’ll save the Air Force jokes for another post. Lol

PARA45: Congratulations and thank you! As an Air Force brat, I can somewhat relate to you and your career. I have very fond memories of growing up on Air Force bases, but also the not-so-fond memories of watching my dad deploy to Vietnam and other SEA locations multiple times. You are correct when you stated, "the greatest air force in the world."

@PARA45 I commend you on your long service to your country and people. But above all to uphold the values we have fought for together over many years. Enjoy your retirement and remember you will NEVER be a civilian. I can say this with such certainty as it was 10 years ago my service came to an end.

Well done once again and thank you, I'm sure that at some time with us knowing it we would have worked together.

Enjoy your well-earned pseudo retirement. I did 28 years in the Air Force, enlisted in '84, commissioned in '88, and retired in '12. Picked up a job teaching AFJROTC at a local high school. Oh yeah, and took my dad (served 33 years in USAF) with me to RSA to hunt in '13 to celebrate it all. You think those military years flew by? Wait 'til you see how fast the next few years go...

 

[PARA45]

Thanks again gents, I appreciate your kind words & wishes.

Out of all the certificates I'm getting, unfortunately I did not get one signed by President Trump yet. I'll have to wait for that one, because I sure as hell do not want one signed by Oh Blah Blah

Thank you for the service, and also extend a thank you to your family and loved ones.
Enjoy the new phase in your life, which could also be exciting - depending on your attitude.
You are in our prayers.

Congrats on the well earned retirement from a hopefully soon to be retired Canadian Army brother. Best of luck with the second career!
