to be honest the only reason I lasted so long in the military is because I was aircrew. had it not been for that I would have lost my cool with someone and got in trouble. I did lose a few times and came close to getting in trouble but I always had that next mission in the back of my mind and so I would just focus on that. Probably why I have been married so long to. Cant cause trouble at home if I am deployed. now I have just under five years left and the only reason I stay is for retirement check. if it were not for that I would have gotten out when They grounded me. I had a job lined up too. they wanted me too I still think about that all the time. I had the job I should have just gotten out and took it. oh well I gues there is no use looking back. I have to lool fwd to retirement check now. then on to the next gig.
