As of 10am this morning, I'm officially on Terminal Leave. 24 years ago today, coincidentally, I enlisted into the Army.
24 years, two armed services, 4 continents, 42 states, thousands of gigs, more friends than I can count, more beers than I can remember. Some of the best musicians I've ever met, and some of the strangest and most unique gigging situations you could imagine. It all adds up to the most rewarding careers I could ever want.
I count myself lucky. I can now pursue other goals (music, photography) with the luxury of a guaranteed income. Life's good.
So I say thank you, American Taxpayer, for 24 great years!
MSgt, USAF (ret)

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2006 Location: Reynoldsburg Ohio | | HAHA! Congrats on the retirement!!!!!! I retired from the Army in '08 after 27 total years. What blows me away when I think about it is that my years of service were spread over 5--I cannot frickin' believe it--5 decades. I was in during the late 60's. I was in during the early '70's, I was in during the late 80's, all thru the 90's and 2000-2008 to wrap it up.
