    I've done my sentence but, committed no crime.....

    thus concludes the end of my military career.......30 years, 7 months, 10 days. Thanks Terry for the post last night regarding this milestone and to the others who commented.
    Just to keep it Mustang related, I hope to have more time now to work on my herd.  Today, I plan to prep for paint, a rear housing for the coupe. Once my mig is re-dialed in, the long awaited cowl replacement will commence followed by both full quarters.
    Time now for a cup of Wolfe Bay coffee.........

    Thanks Josh for your long (and I'm sure) distinguished career serving our country.  A 30+ year career at any job is quite an accomplishment and I'm sure that you are ready to enjoy your hard earned retirement. I've got 31 years of twisting wrenches for Alaska Airlines and I hope to be pulling the plug in about two more years. Hopefully your efforts on your herd will keep you out from under Tanya's feet being home all day, every day....😄✌

    Congrats Josh. I seem to recall you looking fairly young-ish in Bash photos. If it's not a state secret how old were you when you joined up? What service where you in?

    Sorry for the grainy pic, but both these guys ARE kind of grainy...

    Congratulations Josh!  I admire your stamina - I could only tolerate 4 years of the military (USAF) - we parted ways (honorably) a little over 30 years ago. 

    I sincerely hope you enjoy your retirement - it's an amazing phase of life!  Stay happy!!!

    Wow.  I said Thank you for your service, in the other thread, but after reading this,  THANK YOU for your service to our country.   30 years!  Wow!  If I was a millionaire, Id buy you a retirement Mustang.   

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.
