If I recall 80 was 25,maybe 26 by a few days when he went to class in 07.

Tsquare, I feel your pain. Bama went through this a few years ago. Wait till your brand new high profile coaching hire blows a few thousand on strippers and hookers in his hotel room on the Universities' dime. Then you'll be in the big leagues like Alabama!:D

On the bright side, after going through the valley of death, we got Saban.

I had just turned 27 the week before I started class and I was the second youngest in class. There's only 15 people senior to me that are younger than me so hopefully those guys love greasy double cheeseburgers more than me ;).

On the bright side, at least we know we've got 80 to run the latest and greatest show for the next 30+ years ;)

DAL4 and FmrDog,

Congrats to you both (great pic DAL4). I wish you happiness and good health to all!

I am in the process of backing up all our videos of the kiddo's (triplet's) and it seems like just yesterday.

I have 30 left but will be happy to leave sooner. :rolleyes:

Might not be rolling in it so much. If he's 27 and in the Reserves, he sure didn't come off AD. I did 8 years AD, then 15 in Reserves, but 90% of my retirement points were earned in those first 8.

The Guard/Reserve guys who never did AD usually figure out around the 10-12 year point how small the retirement check will be, that they won't see it until 60, and that if they get activated for a couple years will never make up the loss of income. That's when they punch. And that's also about the point you don't fly much, just get fitted for a large steel desk.

Side note in the "insult to injury" zone: Most Guard/Res guys are clueless that their "inactive duty" points are capped each year. Pay only, no point towards retirement. I retired with over 3 years worth of points that didn't count.:mad:

Wow I feel like such a slacker around all these Doogie Howser types!

/29 in April and no major hiring in sight....

How close are you to the top of the CPS list?

Don't feel so bad.

I think the average age for a new hire at a major is almost 40.

(at least that's what Kit Darby said, several years ago.)

It is not a competition. Hang in there and good luck!

Are you kidding Denny?! I need all the help I can get. :p I was just finally getting comfortable with the Northwest stuff so your assistance is necessary to ensure I'm not mixing former & current policies! It's also much appreciated!

Thanks. :)
