If you guys remember, Skip introduced me as his next door neighbor a couple of weeks ago. He has been trying to talk me into retiring from the Air Force ever since he moved in. Well Skip, I finally did it... I put my retirement paperwork in today. I will officially be out of the military March 1st.
Skip has been telling me that I wont regret it but I guess I will have to wait and see for myself. I was scared to death to actually make the decision because this is the only life I have known. But after 24 years, its time to move on.
It has been a wonderful ride but now its time to get off. I have absolutly loved serving my country and would gladly have given my life for it if called.
I received a pretty good job offer from the company I work at and would be a fool to turn it down.
Thanks Skip for all your talks.

It kind of sounds like Im sucking up to Skip a little dosent it? Oh well...
