Well, I retired from 24 years of Active Duty in the USAF back in October. I've been on a journey since then, without question.
In December I managed to finally get a job with the Department of the Air Force as a civilian employee. It's not much, but it goes towards paying the bills.
I'm living and working in Charleston, SC. while my family still lives in Virginia...it crushes me, but I had to go where a job was with the economy the way it is. I'm optimistic in that we'll be reunited sometime this summer, but only time will tell.
