Missed this thread...
19 years of active duty with an approved retirement date of Sep 30, 2019.
No idea what I am doing after I retire. My wife is the real bread winner and affords me the life I live. She the Plant Controller for Ingersoll Rand at the Kent, Wa facility. We've discussed me being a stay at home dad for a while until I decide.
Congrats on retirement! I got 5 years left! Like you, I have no idea what to do after...my fiance' is a manager for AAFES, so she wont be supporting me. haha. I've thought about truck driving. Though I have a buddy who works for Northrop Grumman in Fl, he might could hook me up with a decent paying job.
I've always said when I retire I either want to be the HMFIC (for those non mil guys...head mother F'er in charge) of something or the lowest guy on the totem pole with zero responsibility. Like the contractors mowing the grass on base. Probably getting paid decently, their biggest worry is trying not to hit a rock or a bush!
I've been stressed enough over my last 15 years in. I'm ready to be stress free. Come on 2023!
