I'm never getting out. I'm staying in until I die - or make 4 star. At which point I will consider taking on Secretary of my branch, SecDef, or running for President. ;)
I plan on staying in so long that the military needs to create a new age group for the PT test specifically for me. ;)

PO2 Ed C. - Hey, I love it here. The job sucks, the leadership sucks, and I complain every waking minute of every day; but there's no place I'd rather be. ;) "A bitching Sailor is a happy Sailor." I believe it. The days I am not at work are fairly unproductive. I wouldn't last if I didn't work.

I retired in 1994 as a Chief Warrant Officer 3, and enjoyed every single day of my life as a Marine Corps Officer. I came in as a private in 1972 and have been blessed to be selected to the Warrant Officers rank in 1985 as a Marine Gunnery Sergeant with 12 plus years under my belt.

I transitioned to the retired reserve in May 2008 after 30 years military service at the grade of U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL. There was no ceremony or honors to commemorate that moment. We serve the nation not for glory or reward but because we have dedicated our lives to serve.
I fully retired from the U.S. Army in October 2016. I intend to request my retirement packet by next year.
I Enlisted in November 1974 and was accepted as a cadet at West Point in July 1976 and served as an infantry officer from May 28, 1980 through October 2, 1992 and then served primarily as an ORSA officer until May 2008.
