I apologize for my hiatus, I have been a little self absorbed lately as I was future planning and looking for work. I'll be back on more and more as time progresses.

I will also reply to all the PM's!

Ron

Oh that was you Ron? I thought is was some crazy CEF member counting the years he or she has owned Cox engines and this was some sort of anniversary.
  Thanks for your service. I did my 3 years 10 months and xx days. Here it comes.
Something happens when you get old, but I can't remember what it is.

  I hope you find work where you want to. When I got out one of my Chief Master Sargents retired and couldn't find work, so he went back in the Air Force. Of course that was 1970 and this is 2015. Maybe you can find work with Kim up on the flight line. .   That's not really funny is it.

   My advice is send out hundreds of resumes and hit the pavement daily. People to people is the best way to find a job. Not thru the job hunters. All they care about is the commission. Not you. I've been there. 6 layoffs in my illustrious carreer.
   Best wishes to you and your family.
      And last, but not least: get the bleep out of tornado alley.

P.s. Saw a Star Wars tie-fighter at Costco for $49.95 with twin ducted fans. I bet it flies great.

Thanks guys, I probably should have mentioned that I have been hired back on as a civilian where I currently work.

And you were doing all that planning, etc.
   Time to join the retired crew.

HD I'm really retired

Congratulations on the 20+years and the new job! Thank you for your service!

Rod.

After I retired the military, all the services, helped pay for me to finish college. $395.00 wasn't much in 1976 when I restarted my bachelors degree, but it was all we had, plus a 3 1/2 year old girl, and I finished 2 years worth in 18 months.
   So Ron if you don't have some sort of degree, now is the time to start, or restart. They will help up to a certain point. The rules are very different now.

Go get em.

Happydad, but sleepy.
