GuardBum 73 Posted May 17, 2018 Thanks for the brotherhood Mung. I just hit 25 in March. Aiming to make 10-10-2020 my retirement. It'll give me 27+ years, most of it Guard. I'm civil service too so hopefully the fulltime work will just slide into another role as I take the uniform off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
