    I like the challenge. Just got caught off guard. The medical retirement happened so quick. Left me reeling a bit

      I got stayed a bit on the retirement. Took shrapnel in my back. Had 3 finger reattached. Compartment syndrome in right leg and two broken metatarsels. Can't really do the same run and gun shit anymore but killing this IT think. Plus it's easy to be the biggest guy in the office so that's an ego boost

            Yeah. I can only hold about 225 for a brief time, but I use wraps to make it work. I won't have the grip strength of a god, but I can still DO so I'm happy

Just the transition. Drop in pay. Adjusting. Y'all know the deal. It's a bitch to go from one career to a new one after 11-years
              yep..after doing 20 and some change it took me a while to adjust..hell I bet it was 2 full years just for me to wind the fuck down..:agreed:

They've got to make it up to your somehow.
                About the same as giving up 4-5 years of your life, $50+ thousand in debt, and graduating with a liberal arts degree. At least you can party at school and mostly no wory about getting shot.

                      That isn't my scenario. It is the scenario for most kids that are told they must go to college if they want to be "someone".

                      I have wayyyyy more debt than that. Degree in healthcare means big bucks to acquire.
