When you retired, did you become employed with your service, a sister service, civilian job or go to school? What drove the decision?

I've noticed that many of my retired AF SM's are employed by the US Army (I believe this is an RP setting to allow me to find like members), however, after a little more research, I've noticed that many of you, myself included, continued your employment with a sister service and not the service you retired from. If you don't mind, could you please share what drove your decision to do so? For me it was simple... Although I have 3 AFSC's and an Army MOS, it was the Army MOS that I found most exciting, which was instructing the MOS I had earned to IET and MOS-T Soldiers. I was actually able to secure a position initially with General Dynamics before leaving my last deployment assignment, came home, retired and began work, and as timing would have it, I became a DA Civilian a couple of years later, and the rest, as they say, is history! What is your story? How did you get from retirement to where you are now? If you are Active, what are you doing to get your retirement position you have your eye on? Will you stay engaged with the Military or are you looking for a civilian position instead? RP Members want to know!!! LOL!
Oh, and please select one of the survey answers to go with your response! It would be greatly appreciated!
