My Last Day Of Work Day - Last Day In Uniform
I finally outprocessed today. 22 years in the United States Air Force. I start my terminal leave on Monday.

I've got a little bit of time to relax before I need to be gainfully employed again, but this time as a real "Mister"

So tell me, would you hire this guy?



Do I look like happy, or what?

3. Congratulations and thanks for your service...
I think this is a good time to be getting out.

Sometimes I wish I had stayed in and got my 20, but I just couldn't bear the thought of serving under the current administration.

Good luck in your new civilian life!

14. It's when you take leave until the end of your enlistment
You're still on active duty while on it.

When the leave is done, so is your contract

18. Sure they can. They can with all RETIREES

So chances are pretty slim these days

16. Hi Mr S
Congratulations to you! I am an ex wife of an Air force man. I gotta admit, I sure did love seeing all the great places, but my poor ex was WAY too liberal to ever have made it over 20. He wishes he had, but just couldnt hack it.


So, how does it feel?

20. So what is the AF equivalent of sending your shoes and hat
to muster because you are so "short"?

28. Congrats! I retired in Oct
No - I'm not bored yet. I've decided to take a year off and travel.
Don't need a job, just playing with my toys.
Will have to think about school in the fall maybe.
