Duce:   Congrats on being a single digit midget.  All us vets can appreciate your feelings this week.  My father retired from the Navy after 23 years service (WWII, Korea, Vietnam) in 1969, and the toughest part of his retiring for me, as a then 12-yr-old, was getting used to having him home on a regular schedule.  I can tell you from first hand experience, I never did get used to it...and he being an old-era Chief...well, living in our house was like being the crew he no longer had as a civilian.  Enjoy these last few days.  My fondest memories, almost 26 years later, are of my own service days.  Anybody who didn't serve cannot understand.  But there comes a time to move on, and there is much life after our military days.  Not as predictable, not as orderly, and with a whole lot of crap thrown in...but it is rewarding in it's own way.  Conrrats again.  Take care.
