Retirement

00Silverado4x4 · May 18, 2016

Thank you all for your kind words. My career was in Aerospace Ground Equipment...AGE for short. The only thing I didn't work on was the aircraft. Heaters, air conditioners, generators, hydraulic test stands, light all's, maintenance stands of all kinds, aircraft jacks & on & on & on. I worked every position & duty ending with being the Flight Chief. Now to have my first summer vacation in 20 years. Then figure out what I'm going to do when I grow up...?

congrats on 20.

I have just had to type this twice.

I got through 6 as an animal.

I am to a keyboard as a fat man is to ballet.

tail end of cold war, gulf stuff never ended for my whole time.

20 was a fairy tale.

my sister is headed for 20, now a msgt.

Enjoy your retirement..

never forget what did 5 times as much in 25% of the time to not be here at all.

I wouldn't mention 20 at all.

thanks for the good functioning H1 at 20 below in the wind. Crew chiefs live for it.

Congrats. Reading your work history rang a bell. You ever in OK? You may have worked with a drunk former in law at one time.

I've only ever driven through OK a few times. Never know I've met a lot of people in the 20 years.

Sorry for the thread jack Mark.

No worries.

Our journey to The Last Frontier is to begin this coming Tuesday. We are planning a whole summer of driving across the US & then up through Canada. Don't have a specific itinerary but it should one heck of a good time for all.
