Well, as of 0000 today, I am officially retired. 34.5 years total service, including my 12 years of Active Duty time - mostly intact less one extra hole, several broken and poorly set fingers, a compound fracture of one wrist, and other various boo-boos.
Now I just have to figure out what to do with myself to stay away from the ENORMOUS Honey Do list my unbelievably better half has been preparing for the last 27+ years of our marriage... "Duty Call" and "gotta deploy" aren't going to work as excuses any more!
To all my brothers & sisters still slogging through it - stay safe, and you're in my prayers!
