Well, let's see.

I am a former Marine (from waaaaay back in the late 70's/early 80's). I got out for medical reasons and they medically retired me for these health issues. I then became a Registered Respiratory Therapist and worked for 20 years in the Dept. of Veterans Affairs. I was also a Union Steward for my local of the AFGE.

In 2014, my health issues, combined with having to have had both of my knees completely replaced in 2007 and 2008, I was forced to take early retirement from my federal job. Lucky for me and the wife, I have an ample income from the military (full benefits/pension) my Federal Employment pension and Social Security Disability, all of which I am able to collect.

So right now......I'm officially retired and lovin' life!!! I've been wonderfully blessed and I don't take one grain of it for granted, either!!
