Retired at Ft. Benning twice! Lol. Love living 30 minutes from Ft. Benning... Henry Lewis Benning was a very accomplished man. Thank you for sharing.

CSM Charles Hayden - Almost there... Have to wait until I'm 56 IOT file for Civil Service Deffered Retirement... I has to resign a very good paying GS position based on health issues, after 15 years! Definitely not the way I planned on triple dipping...
