    My Uncle was in the Air Force for 25 years, retired Comand Sgt Major! He was in his early 40's,,, after getting out. He then got a job with the post office, and has been working there since. He will have that retirement also when he decides to get out! He lives in AZ,,,, nice house with in ground pool, living the good life!! My uncle is actually younger then me. I believe he is in his late 50's!

    I would have had to go to the Swiss Army 7 years ago (dual US/CH citizen) since I live here, but I was declared unfit for service because of my right eye. Best part about it was that I was also declared unfit for the national guard type service as well (that would have really sucked.....the same 21 week boot camp type deal, just without the free assault rifle at the end).

    So everyone in the army gets a free assault rifle? I thought they just gave you a knife with all those gadgets
