Same stuff I went through 20 years ago. Man I would love to bag some traps on the old Kitty Hawk. Alas that's gone,,, or roar into the break at Miramar at just under mach. Oh that's been passed over to the marines. Well maybe one last trip in the old Tomcat. OOOPPPPSSS Nevermind.
Got out of AD back in '86 and went reserves till '95. Never looked back. Oh I've had my rough spots with Eastern Air Lines, but life on the civilian cargo side has been A-OK. Its natural to fear getting out. Its the fear of the unknown. But hey it wasn't the fear of getting shot at that drove me out but rather the fear of constant B.S. paperwork.
Good Luck to all of you in whatever path you choose.
