Interesting that it did not sink in that today was my last day in uniform, until I was taking off my boots this evening. I guess I will need to make some changes to my profile pretty quick here.

Thank you for the kid words Sir. It has been a pleasure to serve. I am not retiring however. It was a medical separation. Once they found that I needed both knees replaced, they decided it was time for me to go

That did not happen at all. I have an hour and a half commute to work. I am pretty much getting up at the same time I was when in.

PO3 Steven Sherrill While it was not my idea, I saw it coming and that left me time to prepare for it. Amazingly, I did not even realize how ready I really was, until it actually happened.
