Grandfather served Navy WWI
Father served Army WWII
Uncle served Navy WWII
I served Army GWI

Good for you, I retired in 95 after 20 years. That was my plan and stayed with it. Once I hit 20 I was ready and never looked back. My training helped keep me employed until I decided to quit working altogether.
