Thanks for your service! My dad served 22 years in the AF, from 68-90. If you're like the old man, you'll storm into the civilian work force like your hair is on fire

Here is a salute to you !

Good luck with your future endeavors and don't forget you should also devote some time to enjoy retirement

BTW if you get the job (you will ) with Lockheed Martin your timing is great, lots of work building and testing the future Canadian air planes

Thanks everyone, just got done with the interview, they said it went well and HR would back to me. I won't feel good until I have a job offer though. I want to get out and start working immediately.

Take it easy, you remind me of my self when I retired from the Canadian Air Force, had to work right away (pride) while at the same time I had commitment revamping my house. Getting out involves a lot of changes in your life which you need time for your self. Take a deep breath just as I did snag the job I wanted then, you will too!! Enjoy for the very short time you have for your self. I am convinced they owe you vacation pay and whatever else you may call it in the US (x amount of days per year of service an so on) right? Don't rush to quickly and take the time to get a job that is taylored for you and that you will enjoy for many more years.

Thanks for you service & congrats on the next step! I served in the USAF from 1980-2000, then worked for FAA, TSA, Homeland Security (massive pile of bureaucracy & wasted BILLIONS) & now I'm making the big bucks for a defense contractor at Patuxent River Naval Air Station~

What field were you in?

+1. Congrats and good luck with Lockheed. If it's an option go overseas and make the bigger bucks. The money overseas is mind blowing. There's a reason I've been in Japan over 7 yrs now.

Congrats on the retirement, I did 27 years also in Aircraft maintenance. I was the enlisted project officer bringing the F-16 to Macdill AFB in Fl. Retired in 85 must of been about the time you went in. I guess we have 2 things in common Polk and the AF.

Take a couple of weeks to enjoy your new freedom. when you do start your new career don't let them see you sweat.

All the best PoTee
