That's what happened with me. I retired, but got a phone call from a company in Ottawa. My old boss gave them my name. I ended up teaching as a civilian for 11 years.

It was a combination of my age and the fact that I was no longer in uniform, but you probably noticed that when you hung up your uniform, you weren't part of the club anyone - despite working for DND. When I walked out the door for the last time, I didn't miss it one bit. I haven't been back to visit, although I do see former work mates from time to time. Oddly, nothing about work is ever brought up.

I don't regret my military service at all. I've just moved on. Most people do. The only ones I feel sorry for are the Commissionaires who live in the past. I go to Timmy's and sit inside occasionally. I overhear these old dogs trying to relive their glory days. The tell the current generation in uniform why things are so much easier today than when they were in the service. Sad.
