Some of us are just lucky, and I mean that will total sincerity.
I served in the Cold War Army and watched Peace breakout and was a beneficiary of the Peace Dividend. After 11 years I went out into the civilian world and did that for about ten years. After 9-11 (22 years after I came in -- when few of my original peers were still on active duty) I saw the National Guard needed volunteers. I clicked a pop-up; took a call from a recruiter, let him buy me lunch at McDonald's (Super-size me, Yeah!)
I dealt with it by trying to use all my experience and training (and probably a little acquired maturity) to do the things I love, the way I want to do them. I consider my break in service one of the few miracles I've been granted.
