In all honesty, I'm hanging it up. Gonna ride out until the VA does their crap and see about the medical retirement. I've come to the conclusion this past week that I have nothing left to prove to anyone and that's it's time to let someone else carry the torch.

There ya go. Good decision, your future health just isn't worth risking.

My buddy from high school left the Marine Corps after 12 years when he was in an incident where they were loading ammo crates into an LAV-25 and a panel arced setting off several of the rounds. He took a big gash in his right arm and one of the rounds hit him square in the back of his flack jacket as he was running away. Thankfully it was a ricochet and had lost most of it's momentum. Knocked him down on his face in the dirt. Right then and there, he stood up and said "F this, I'm out!"

He did his tours in Beruit twice (before and after the Marine barracks bombing) and in Grenada for the invasion/rescue, was in near ground helo crashes 3 times (cut himself out of the wreckage with his K-bar the last time), and then nearly got killed in an ammo loading incident. To this day he has never regretted getting out when he did.

The only thing I "might" regret is passing up the pension
 
My ex caught me in bed with a chicken...

Boy, was there was egg on my face... :rolleyes:
 
I think I need to back off on my hand a little... I've been pushing it some and it's getting stiff... I may be over doing it a little...

I'll take it easy on it for a few days and see if that helps...
