Wish I knew when I walked in here. I wasn't part of the first wave, though I'm sure it was pretty soon afterwards. In any case I've been doing the same thing for like 20 years now.

1. I think Daniel A had a heart attack or maybe a stroke.

2. Yes, I was tempbanned for mocking his death. Good memory. :P

I can't believe how much some of us have accomplished in ten years. I can believe how little the rest of us have accomplished though. :P

I lurk less.
Still in AL, still the same job, few years away from retiring from the reserves, my son is 15 and learning to drive, my daughter is 8, still happily married to capturedfairy (I'm happy , she is married).
Going to be a "gray-area" retiree where you have to wait until age 60 for the pension?

Yes! Can't wait, I'm tired of all the fucking paperwork and supervising kids in this new "nice abnd politically correct" Navy.

Grab an overseas "deployment" to somewheres like Bahrain before you go; be a nice way to pad your bank account ($100k+) and pension.

I don't care to go to the sandbox a third time. I prefer to be with my family. In the last 10 years I have been to Kuwait, Korea, Antarctica, New Zealand and all over the States.

My life compared to 10 years ago?

Different job.
Different city.
Different country.
More disposable income.

I don't see how that's possible.
