I'm leaving active duty at 13.5 years TIS. Although I am transitioning to AFRC/ANG, leaving AD was the toughest decision of my life. I start terminal leave in July (September separation) and I currently have no civilian job or AFRC/ANG job secured.

Look forward, forget the past. Life is in front of you. Dwelling on the past is a waste of time. Professionally, I had to become a washed-up IP before I realized the value of that wisdom. Personally, I had to become a father.

Also, have you looked into transitioning to the Air Force Reserve or Air National Guard? Sound like you're an enlisted guy. A career as a KC-135 or KC-10 boom operator can comfortably coexist with an airline job. Tankers are everywhere! With only 9 years until earning a retirement, it's worth finding a manageable path to 20 years of service.

Good luck!
