Oh well at least it's pushing away then. I plan on having a steak and a beer (or a few more) for the birthday this weekend. I'm starting to figure out that the feeling of being a civilian is a foreign concept. Lucky for me, the project management position I got is full of vets as well. They're mostly Air Force (since I work on Tinker AFB), but they're still vets nonetheless. I'm envious you have that much of a start on your ride. Mine has been sitting in a shop for the past 5 years while I was out in Pendleton, 2-9, and the sandbox. I'm planning on making it up first week of December to bring it back down and start up on it, but we'll see how the weather is (NOT sunny and 75 here).
