Plenty of time and money to do whatever it is in life that *does* excite you, rather than whatever forced and unexpected excitement resulted from flying for Uncle Sam.
Wait, you don’t miss the excitement of “new duty station roulette” every two years? The joy of telling your kids that they need to move again? The excitement of your spouse trying to find a job when they move all the time? The excitement of being deployed for a year +? Going to a porta potty in 120 degrees and being terrified of dropping my 9mm into it? Or of dreading off duty phone calls?
Yeah there were some good times. But miss it? Nope.
