Congratulations!
You realize you're going to dream about missing formation, about being back in for some damned reason and unable to figure out where you're supposed to be, and other crazy stuff like that for the rest of your life, right?
Me, I often dream about joyriding P-3 Orions. Hope yours are as pleasant!
Don't be the darkness.
America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

Congrats. I ended my first enlistment at Ft. Richardson in 1976. President Ford apparently forgot my thank you letter.
kwg Soldiers who ets don’t get a retirement certificate from the President.. I did 22yrs 5months 2days. I did just a few days past 24 years but it was a mix of National Guard and active duty. My last duty station in Alaska is the missile site just above the Claxon drop zone. Were you in Afghanistan in 2009 by any chance ?? Around Gardez and FOB lightning ? You will find yourself struggling for a few weeks trying to adapt to the "new you" but it's worth it. Thanks for your service. kwg Yes I deployed with 4-25 in 2009, I was in 1-40 cav we were across the road from lightning. Our squadron troops were at Zormat, Herrera, Dysie and Wilderness everyone of them were good ol chit holes.. Did you ever go to the Border Patrol HQ at the old hotel 1000 meters from the Border Police regional training center ?? We might of crossed paths a time or two. You had a black Captain, Phillips maybe ?? Good guy. We spent a whole morning with the BP leadership trying to get them to divide up vehicles and ATV's and get them to the out posts. kwg

Anyhow I did go to APB something where they had all these Polaris 4 wheelers, something about ABP couldn’t use them they had no mo-gas. Anyhow I hitched a ride with guys that were over at lightening but were at Zormat to help with ANA to stand up ANA outpost, I forget the name of the operation. Anyhow We road back in a cougar talk about the ch ittiest ride ever. Only time in my life I thought I was going throw up from motion sickness lol. We stopped at the ABP first then to lightening then we finally got dropped off at fob Gardez.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Also the BSTB was more involved with the ABP than the Cav squadron was initially then I somehow got suckered roped into the ABP recruitment program, but before I could really get sucked into
It. Our Squadron mission changed and the entire squadron minus C troop and platoon from B troop moved to Camp Clark to partner with the ANA. Camp Clark was a big ANA basic training facility..

You got a job yet.
I worked from 08 to 14 after I retired.
Find something that pays extremely well others wont do cause it is too hard or dangerous or scwary to em.
Get as much debt if ya have some wiped the fugg out, and call it quits for good.
If ya got kids at the house for awhile still that is a factor in alot of stuff.
I called it quits at 52.
Congrats on your retirement man.

And carrot slaw
Oh oh and some Milo’s sweet tea I’m not sure who Milo is. But that sweet tea sounds great.

Congratulations. Well done. I bailed after 6 and never regretted it but man I could have been drawing that retirement for nearly 16 years. Hope you land a decent Civilian Gig after you take a break.
