I know no one joins the military for money or rewards, but I think every Military retiree should be GIVEN a new Vette, they certainly earn it for putting their lives on the line and honoring our Country on a daily basis. Just my thought.

Military Retiree
 
USAF-22 years/2005 C6

I didn't retire, but I put in 6 yrs USN 77-83, STG2. Looking back while talking now & then with my cousin & best friend who did their 20, MSC, SM1 respectivly, I should have stayed as well as I'd have been 'retired' in 99. But the constant away on deployments was straining my marriage & I left to save it.

The old saying holds true, which is "if I'd have known then what I know now".

USAF served but got out early!
 
I spent 4 years 5 days in USAF and told them I could starve better on the outside and I did. I got a BBA degree in accounting AND have not looked back! I had a high school buddy who went to AF Accademy and then flew F4's and did the same and became a medical doctor after spending 9 years in AF. :flag:

USAF EOD retired - working as a contractor for these young EOD hero's - it feels so good to give back - its not a job when you love what you're doing.

USAF, retired in 94, E-8 with 24 years as air traffic controller. I too, seen numerous countries; just about all the Asian countries. Got my first vet, an 87 in 92 before I retired. But after retirement, the Vet bug bite hard and I'm on my fifth one, 2010 GS. It's the best one out of the bunch. In the last year I have tracked it three times; twice at Summit Point and last fall at VIR for a three day session. Was running with 911's, BMWs, and other brands and had more fun then allowed! I'm glad to see all the vets that have a corvette. Everyone enjoy the fun and pride of owning this great American made sport car.
