Major life change today . . .

Final out process from the military today. I get thank you for serving a lot. I want to thank everyone for the honor of serving. It will be quite different not knowing what clothes to wear and when to do what. But it is a good change and already have a job lined up. One thing that will never change is my affinity for those Clemson Tigers!

Congratulations my friend. Thank you for your service, I'm sure you hear that a lot but it's worth hearing a lot. Many of us understand the sacrifices that you and your family have made.
Tips on adjusting to civilian life:
1. Don't shoot anyone. Harshly worded letters are now sufficient.
2. Do not attempt to spit-polish tennis shoes.
3. The term 'Tank' now only refers to what generally happens to USCjr's football seasons.
Other than that, you're good to go!

Thanks for your service. If you have any of that military underwear it will last about ten years, unless your wife puts it in the rag bag. I have a story about those olive drab shorts and shirts I'll post sometime. Enjoy your new role and keep in touch with those close friends you made in service. A salute to you and best wishes.

But enjoyed it. It was rewarding and fun most of the time. You take care of that little tiger of yours. I'm hoping to get my little guy to death valley for the first time this year or next. Auburn was a fantastic experience last year but it's not the same.

Use that post 9/11 GI Bill if you don't already have a degree.
It's the best thing about serving.

I'm 67 and I still have this problem. I suggest getting a wife. They will tell you that you're an idiot and would be lost without them to dress you. So good luck with all of that.
