Yes, that includes leap days. 26 years, 17 days of wearing USAF blue. I came on active duty on the 14th of August, 1989. Since then, I’ve had 25 different jobs at 15 different locations, only three of which were both above ground AND had windows. I've served under 12 USAF Chief of Staffs, 9 Secretaries of Defense, and five presidents, with my commission signed by a sixth (All Hail Renaldus Magnus!). I’ve done 27 promotions, nine reenlistments, 31 commissionings, one retirement, and one court martial (not mine), I've spent 279 days on nuclear alert, 300-ish days on space operations crew, 357 days deployed to Afghanistan, and served a three-year sentence at the Pentagon with no time off for good behavior. I’ve been a crew commander, flight commander, detachment commander, instructor, evaluator, educator, staff officer, operations officer, and snack bar officer. In my time in the Air Force, I’ve learned that at 30 below, a boiling hot cup of coffee thrown in the air will freeze before it hits the ground, I’ve had lunch with the Afghan Army Chief of the General Staff, I’ve visited some of the biggest nuclear weapons facilities in the country, I’ve had to figure out the best way to get a dead cow out of a sewage lagoon, and I spent one really fun Christmas Eve answering the phones for the annual NORAD Tracks Santa event, earning the undying gratitude of parents by telling their kids they had to go to bed RIGHT NOW or he’d pass them by. And I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. Except for the Pentagon tour. The really funny thing is I never planned on making it a career—it just happened that every time I was wondering what the next step was, the Air Force promoted me and sent us off to another cool assignment in a great place that made it worth sticking around. So, here I am, a quarter century later, a lot more grey hair and a lot lower PT test scores than when I started, but MAN, was it a fun ride. Except for the Pentagon tour. Anyway, I’ve had a great run, but it’s time for someone else to sign for the alert. Limaxray, Lt Col, USAF, and as of today, (Ret).

Sounds like you enjoyed yourself. Now enjoy the kids you'll be teaching. At least they want to be there..
Good friend of my wife's retired with almost exactly the same time in, except Navy. She was a Lt. Commander during her Pentagon tour and basically claims she spent the entire tour making coffee for a variety of senior ranks, most of whom seemed to be making copies for flag officers. |

Thank you for serving America faithfully and allowing my family and myself to sleep safe at night in our warm beds while you did your duty.
Enjoy your new time off. PSA: It's not as easy as it sounds being retired. Sometimes you mess up the laundry and end up with pink underware. |
