Over half of my career in the Army, I've been at the leading edge of our most recent wars. I've been to Iraq 3 times, Pakistan, Jordan, and am on my way to Afghanistan around August.

Speaking just for myself, I am in line right behind Griff, I hope they wait till I retire in 1 year and 347 days. I'm getting way to old for this shit.

How many years do you have in? I'll hit 26 years in Sep with 10 of it on Active. It's a struggle for me to hang in with these young kids. Now that the conflicts are downsizing, they are pushing more & more of us out the door
