Quoted: And I'll let you know as soon as it works out that way for me.Quoted:  Thank you! keep you eye on the prize (Retirement!)  +1000. I know many guys who have retired and went on to other professions after their military service was done. they are all doing well. Double income with one person. Keep your eye on the prize. Double, my ass. You're doing well to get "one and a half", retirement pay for NCOs barely pays the mortgage, and they figure "Hey, he's drawing that .mil retirement pay, he's shittin' in high cotton, we can pay him chicken feed." Plus, retiring from the reserves or Guard you don't start seeing money until you're in your 60s. (I s'pose they could have changed that...) |

We wouldnt be conducting a BFV fielding of new vehicles through 2012 if we were...........Being a Master Gunner allows me to do both Stabilized weapons platforms such as BFVs, ASV, Crow equipped and Unstab'd such as M1114-and other armored truck system without firecontrol or powered turrets....

Im active duty Guard, so my retirement starts day one.....I have a certain ASI that makes me highly employable(heck they hand out employment information when you graduate to come work for them) in the US and certain Middle Eastern countries that we have sold equipment too, if I wish to travel...I have all kinds of sensitivity training, sexual harassment, EO etc etc, college degree, maybe I will be a social worker... .(want a tissue, fucking cry baby).....I don't know what the future holds...who does, I may retire after this 6 our go for the 30, or go back farming with my pop....
