HOOAH
Mayfair ill agree with that

 

I'd have to agree with the setting up an investment account. I would also say go to as many schools as possible. Depending on where you end up, some of that stuff will come in handy. I was stuck in KS for 2 years before some guy figured out out BN had 5 slots a year for Airborne school. From there it was all I could do to keep from being shipped off to training schools.If you are always training to go to the next school, the time will disappear.

 

Best wishes and i think it is safe to say that all on this forum give you respect. If it weren't for our military, we might not be able to enjoy these great trucks and our way of life. Keep a diary of stories, so you can post them when you get back. If you supply the stories, i am quite sure Mayfair will happily add the appropriate pics.

I got 25 years in and 3 months to go and I'm hanging it up. God it feels good to know that the only thing I'll have to worry about is what fish bait to use that day. GOD SPEED to you

 

If I was eod, I wouldn't be using bait. Don't stand out. You don't want to be the smart/ butt kisser or the idiot of the group unless you like pushups.

 

You're gonna RETIRE ?? You won't hafta work at all ? That's AWESOME !! I can't wait for that day !! Congrats to you !!

 

retirement is for quiters

 

...and "ALWAYS,...ALWAYS,..ALWAYS...be ..."Aware" of your Surroundings"..even when you get out of the service..who ,what, where, that surrounds you..one of the best advice statements you can get and learn !!..Good Luck and God Bless and a big THANK YOU! God Bless America & our troops !!
