of course less than two years later they were full but we had a draft then.

The draft is a miracle machine designed to keep all the ranks full. It even kept the National Guard and Reserves full and they did not draft.
:o)

I have noticed a trend developing over the past coupla years.

I meet no 60s Veterans who regret serving.
But I am meeting more and more similar-aged civilians who admit they regret not serving.

Military retiree COLA has been announced as 4.1%, effective January.
Thank you ya'll.
