Gee, I must be the "baby" here. I retired from the AF in '98. Did my 20, then had to move on.

First shock: Told I had 0 days of vacation the first day of my civilian job. WHAT??!! In the Air Force, I started with 30 days of vacation.

I came in after the draft. Some people said I volunteered, but if you ever heard my story (which we'll leave for another post somewhere else), my choices weren't all that good. But I'm glad I made this choice.

Now, can we get back to playing ball?

My "first" high school game this Friday. Hope I remember to ask if they announce lineups and play the national anthem.
