Glad you have a skill that transfers to civilian life, many military folk get out with no skills that transfer to real life (hard to shoot, move and communicate). I’m glad to see you back online, you have been missed!
    Hahaha. What a difference coming to the civilian side. Still making adjustments. I miss the comraderie for sure. Nothing else like it. Luckily I have a skill set that translates over. I know most of the time its not always the case. Most have to re learn something totally new after doing something for so long in the military. You know how it goes, adapt and overcome.

    Thanks for the welcome back!

    Hey man the transition from military and civilian is one of the hardest things to get used to. Luckily enough you have a transferable skill set. Glad to hear that you've been able to find something that works for you.
    Great to hear that you're doing well.

    Mike - it was great bumping into you last year. I'm sure our paths will cross again in the not so distant future

    Thank you for service Mike, good to hear from you. I haven't been as active as I once was a few years ago, daddy duties. Military to civilian life is a transition let alone a process but eventually we all get there...

    Re: Checking back in

    Hey Mike, glad to see you are back. Was wondering about you, but figured you needed some time to sort out after the big transition.

    I did it once myself, and it was a tremendous transition... First year out I found myself always saying, "in the USAF we always did it this way..." Luckily my boss (same one I have now - 18 years later) was also prior USAF, and we both think a like.

    I hope things work out for you, congrats on the new house... Take things slow with detailing, don't put the pressure on... just do neighbors, friends and referrals... Get back into the groove.
