Glad I went AD, retired at 37.
Joined the Air National Guard in ‘67 so I didn’t have to worry about getting drafted while in college. Did a lot of extra drills on weekends, short tours of active duty in the summer between semesters, and specialist schools. Germany twice and Korea once were great breaks from school when you are young and restless. Finally took an AGR job in ‘81 and retired in 2000. Total Active Duty somehow added up to over 29 years and my first retirement pay was the month after I retired.
Life is good.
