Tommorow will be my last official day in the military. Effective 12:01 on 2-1-2012 I will officially be retired from military service after 26 years and technically unemployed.
If not for a great BGSU Army ROTC program that I joined back in late 80's, not sure I would have made it this far.
Soon to be LTC (RET)

Re: Joining the ranks as a civilian
Congrats and thank you so very much for your dedicated service!! Now that you have some free time, you need to come up for a hockey game. Not many home games left (Northern's and the weasel's)! You need to get that jersey signed before McIntosh graduates! 
GO FALCONS!!
BEAT ND!!!

"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

Congrats.
Like we discussed at Parent's weekend - Come to Dayton and work at WPAFB. Seems we have a lot of retired military find civilian work here.
