Wow, I have let this site sit dormant a long time. So a quick update is in order - I retired from the U.S. Army as a Civilian employee after 32 years. Retirement is great - I highly recommend it. I am still waiting for age 60 to begin drawing my Reserve Retirement and more important - sign up for Tricare Medical which is a much better deal than my current Health Insurance arrangement. My Daughter (E-7 US Army Reserve) has deployed for her fourth tour. This time she left a 2 year old child behind - making this her hardest deployment as one might expect Someone asked me about this site which spurred me to jot a quick note. Happy Thanksgiving - Remember those veterans in your family when you give thanks this season.
