I made this decision, about two months ago, and start md11 training in a few weeks..

I have five years til AGR retirement, am 40, kid just left for college..

Aside from the obvious fiscal reasons.. I'm tired of the queep, stress and deployments.. The military ain't what it used to be, and the future is uncertain.. I wasn't willing to gamble on it, when I consider 5 years of seniority at FedEx. I'll stay on as a TR, as long as I can stomach it. I have 22 years total mil, so I can go anytime..

We'll see how it goes.. Good luck with your decision..
