18. August 2020 for me

Dec 8

I worry about the coworkers and friends I left behind. Since they're DoD civil service, I figure they'll be catching it two ways... Rump and military. I didn't want to retire when I did, I thought it was stupid... But now I'm actually glad I'm not there any longer. I went thru the stress of couple of rifs and that was bad enough. Having to self censor would be so hard for me... I've always been outspoken. Constant worry about staying employed would just be too much.
