Congrats on the decision Ty! I can't believe its been almost a year for me since I retired. Believe me, there will be times you will miss it but there is ALOT I don't miss
If you would have asked me a year ago if I was going to be living in Chile right now I would have told you that you were crazy. BTW, its nice to get that monthly check
On a side note, start doing your VA stuff now and be as proactive as you can to get all of the paperwork done. I was in the same boat (dropped papers at 128 days out) and everything comes really fast. If you have any questions, just PM me. Best of luck!
