I retired from the army way back in 1986, then spent the next 26 years working for the army as a department of the army civilian before retiring for a second time. I rode a bike when I was stationed in Vientiane Laos and in Bangkok Thailand. A Honda 350. But never had the courage to ride one in the states. Like you, I let my passport expire. But I’m happy here in Georgia and I’m completely tired of flying. While as a civilian working for the army, I flew all over TDY. Flying ceased to be fun after 9-11. If I have my way, I’ll never fly again. Too much of a hassle. I only made it to Europe once, 1980-83 guarding the East German Border at Fulda with the 11th ACR.

Good luck and enjoy the retired life.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
