Major Fire, good to see you fly boy. I retired from the Navy five years ago. I actually started terminal leave exactly five years ago on 23 Sep 2013. As you get closer to pulling chocks make sure you get your medical taken care of. If it hurts, see a doc. If it aches, see a doc. If you are having some depression or PTSD, see a doc. I promise you, after 20 years of doing the shit you do, in the places you do them, you are a little bit broken. I believe we age 2-3 times faster than normal humans. Get that shit in the record because if you dont, it will be complete ass pain dealing with VA. I have a lot of friends that retired that are broken. But they did not do the leg work before getting out and now they dont get squat. I figure you been looking out for your airman and Uncle Sams assets for 20 years, bout time you looked out for yours. Even if you dont get a single dime in compensation for disabilities, if they are rated service connected you wont have to worry about their affect down the line. Or the secondary affects. Also make sure you get to TAP class, I think they call it GPS. Try and go to it at least three or four years out. And then once or twice again your last year. It is drinking from a fire hose and one time is not enough. Make sure your spouse goes with. That will provide some watch team backup. Good luck to ya hard charger. Cheers, BD
