Congrats.

Being retired is all it is cracked up to be, until you aren't retired again.

Enjoy your free time, the new ID card (when you get there). Retired is better than dependent which is better than Active.... you will learn the fun times there soon enough.

Tricare will save you a shit ton on work insurance if you can stand the tricare system.

free at last, free at last.....
