At my age I was looking for boring (and relative low risk) when I retired last summer. I could be making better money in the sandbox, or living at home (in base) with HEMS...
I'm perfectly happy without a set of NVGs on my head or somebody trying to kill me.
I'll settle for a divert or autoland every once in a while. I like air conditioning and a $hitter that follows me around wherever I go.
It's only boring if you make it that way.
