Today I got my official DD-214. I am effectively, if not officially, a civilian once again... And yes, it feels good.

Quitter.

Good luck in the civilian world. It's different, and at times, very frustrating. You have to work with some STUPID people, but you can't CALL them stupid... unlike the military, where you can and often do.

There are also a lot of LAZY people... but again, if you call them lazy, even if they clearly are, you might get in trouble.

All that aside... there are plenty of good, hard working people, too. A lot of them do not get recognized.

It has just been MY experience that the ass-pipes don't get dealt with and the good folks don't get recognized. But aside from that... it's great.

Thank you for your service.

Nobody can take that away from you. Now you get to start from scratch. don't expect many to envy your double pension.

^If he didn't do 20, he doesn't get a pension.

If he did, plenty of people will resent him for it, even as they SAY 'thank you for your service'.

Thanks for the well-wishes et al. No pension here, I tapped out at 8y 4m 15d. Some of them good, but not enough to tempt me to 20.

Still in Monterey for another week+ though. Waiting on household goods pickup, have some things to prep for the VA, etc., etc. My car just slipped a belt too, so I've got to get it fixed up and checked out before I head cross-country. I can't wait to be back on the east coast going to school full time!
