Leaving It All Behind

Retirement:  withdrawal from one's position or occupation or from active working life.  This is a definition from the dictionary of the event I am about to journey into, come November.  What this definition doesn't cover is the absolute fear at the very thought of undertaking this particular endeavor. 

As of December 01, 2010 I will no longer be a Chief in the United States Navy.  I will be a civilian, ugh.  I will no longer have a guarnteed paycheck, insurance, dental or medical coverage.  I will receive a retirement check - this will cover my mortgage, with a bit left over.  After 20 years I am going to have to start anew.  Beginning with, my resume.

Wish me luck!
