An old comrade in arms
...just called me. He is hanging it up after a little over thirty years of service. He is a W5 and flew a helicopter for the last 25 years and has served 7 tours between Iraq and Afghanistan. His retirement pay will be about $50,000 and he has a job lined up...if he decides to take it...flying a helicopter...but he said he may just kick back for a few months. He will be processing out over the next couple of weeks and then will be stopping by on his way home to Washington State. I have not seen him for about ten years.
