Welp, I did it. This morning at 0900 (that’d be 9 AM for you civilian types) I did my final outprocessing from the US Air Force. Starting tomorrow I am on what we call “terminal leave.” In other words, the leave I had coming before I formally retire. I have 69 days saved up plus 9 days for househunting. We get 20 days of house/jobhunting but I took 11 days in May. It isn’t leave, it is just time off. Starting Saturday, my razor gets some time off. I’ve wanted to grow a beard since before I came in the Air Force but I was only 17 and the best I could manage was a fuzzy lip.
