    Tom, your post got me thinking It's been 12 years today that I retired after 20 years (Army and Navy). I'm still working though and just had my 54th birthday Aug 30 so I've got some more time to my next retirement. Fair winds and following seas.

    Time go by way too quickly for mortal men.
    Political correctness is a national suicide pact.

    I am a sovereign individual, accountable
    only to God and my own conscience.

    What a coincidence! I retired in August 1979 with slightly less than twenty two years service in Naval Aviation/Air Force. Seems as if it was only a few weeks ago. Neil
