My Journey to Alaska and back....again (and other Army/YankeeVol life adventures)

[VolNExile]

I’ve got a good amount in TSP already. Have other ventures as well.

I‘m not trying to get rich overnight. At the end of the day, I’m not concerned about me, my family will be ok when my day comes (regardless if it’s tomorrow or 50 years from now).

Good perspective.

How difficult was cif?

How difficult was cif?

Honestly not bad at all. The only 2 things kicked back was stuff I didn’t wash (just didn’t realize until I was done with everything else and it was late). I forgot 2 things (found for todays partial turn in). The only thing I had to buy was a woobie (traded it to a Brit at JRTC a few years back).

TLDR version, clean your **** and you’ll be fine

Congrats on the career, Yank. Big thank you to you and your family. Should’ve caught up with you while I was at Campbell for the sim.

Can't believe you are 20 miles from me and we haven't had a beer.

Yankee, where exactly is the artillery being fired from? Sounds like about 10 miles SSW of my house.

Somewhere on the back 40.

That’s technically my retirement date. I’m on terminal leave untio then

Somewhere on the back 40.

Seriously, it sounds like it's just over the hill from my house. Goes constantly.

They’re ramping up. All the stuff going on. You know

I understand, just trying to calc how far they are from the house. Can't believe they are that far away.

 

[82_VOL_83]

From what I can tell, about 30 miles. I cannot imagine what it would be like to be in the actual area.

You know, I wish they hadn’t chosen “terminal leave” as the, well, term…

But enjoy it and then your retirement!
