ptmn Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I need to figure out what I'm going to do very soon. I retired from the military, now I'm retiring the badge and blue uniform. Original plan was to retire at the end of this month, but recently had a talk with the Chief, now it looks like I'm pulling the plug in either August or December. I was thinking about volunteer work or teaching at a local range. If I do volunteer work in retirement, it will be kind of nice showing up for "work" knowing that I can walk away at any time without financial consequence. Can't pull my salary if I'm "working" for free. In any case, I cant do nothing, it would drive me nuts. I lived structured life ever since I went in the military in the 80's up to being a soon to be retired cop now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Best advice I got before I retired. Don’t commit yourself to anything until you’ve been retired at least six (6) months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
