Hi Ya'll,

I can honestly say that the first pay check was sweet. It brought tears to me eyes, and they owed me a few months in back pay.

It was a nice hefty sum.

So like any American I went and bought a $2000 gun. Zombies and such.

Oh, and sights like another $1000.

Retirement is good,

HOOAH! Sadly, The army is changing not for the better in my humble opinion.

Congrats and thanks for your Military service!

I truly hate when folks say that.

Look, I got paid good money. How many jobs you know pay you to sleep out in the woods?

Hell, I should be paying you.

Sounds like hackers.

Really? You retired from the army and were sleeping in the woods? What - you didn't get promoted from infantrymen over the past twenty+ years? Your profile says you are 60 years old - you must have retired from the army about twenty-years ago. Please provide a bit more information - it seems you have forgotten a few facts.

You don't know much about the U.S. military. Part of my service was National Guard. Thus, I could not draw retirement until the age of 60. I ceased wearing a uniform a long time before that.

Also, Infantry is not rank, is a designated skill. You don't get "promoted" from Infantry. Rank is entirely different.

Besides, that wasn't my skill. I was Armored Cavalry, a completely different designation.

I forgot no facts.

Since when is asking questions disrespectful? Just asking for clarification - the story had some holes in it.
