First Year Out

But what did I do for that first year after retirement?

Road trip!

Competed in three GSSF Glock Shoots (AZ, CA, and PA), monthly Cactus Matches, and the Superstition Mountain Mystery 3-Gun, natch.

Played amateur stuntman/extra in Ghost Rock.

Worked as a one-night production assistant in a Hallmark Channel's DreamKeeper near Colossal Cave.

Shaved my head...learned that's a bad idea in the Tucson summertime. That's baldheaded me, sitting in my old seat (ANA1) on the Electric Herk at an Air Show.

Witness/defendant in the U of A Law School's Mock Court (thanks for the free dinners, Kirsten!).
To those of you soon to retire from the military, I heartily recommend you schedule some exploration time before you enter the civilian rat race. That is, if you have the resources. I'm about to re-enter the race after another breather...'cuz resources are nice!
