My Dad's last station (though in the 60's 😄) was where you got your inspiration Maj. Curran -- Tyndall AFB. I loved this video; thank you -- keep inspiring as we need more role models like you. Aim High … Fly-Fight-Win.

US sea cadets 10-18 years old and civil air patrol 13-18 years old. Are great programs that take the kids airborne

You should've at least done 20 years with the Air Force and got a military retirement

Well, you never know what’s going on in one’s life. I did ten years and I was DONE. Yeah, you sacrifice a retirement but if it’s for your mental health, so be it.

@@ryebread105 Thats very true, but 13 years is so dang close, plus it's medical care for life, which as we age, is probably more important than the monthly retirement checks. I had a close friend who retired as a full bird colonel in the Air Force back in the 80's and his retirement was still over 50K a year
