It really helps if you got a relaxing switch built in to begin with. I've always considered myself an undercover lazy shiftless bum just waiting to break out so retirement became an inevitable outcome. Not many people I know are like that and try to copy but are total failures, they keep thinking of things to do.
I wish I had that switch, I think it was removed after my second enlistment. :cryin: I have had a hard time getting out of that Senior SNCO frame of mind. I still work around Jarheads, an MOS producing school so I am still around the stuff. It has taken me a while, but for the most part I don’t get to worked up anymore, I am starting to learn just to shake my head.
