Well,
I took off my uniform for the last time yesterday and today was my first official day of retirement from the Army.
I don't know, I don't think it's sunk in yet. All I have ever known over the past 20 years is Army and today it is over. It felt kinda weird waking up and not having to put on a uniform and go to work. I did however 'celebrate' by playing golf.
Any retirees here deal with a similiar issue? Does it get better or worse? I start a new job in about 3 weeks, will still be working around Soldiers and tanks just in a different capacity and I will have a 9 to 5 job. I think the one thing I look foward to most is being able to sleep in past 4:30am.
Anyway, it's a good feeling in an odd way.
