Tim,
Of course you didn't offend me! I agree with you completely...we are blessed. I am very fortunate to have the business to fall back on, and I really appreciate having that additional avenue to keep putting food on the table. I'm sorry to hear that the Air Force is contemplating ending your career.
I hope that things work out for you. As Pete said, we'll prbably both look back on this transition as a positive turning point, even if it doesn't seem that way right now.
Thank you everyone for your feedback, compassion and empathy. That's what make OCF such a special place!
Wayne
