@Madken65 thank you and your family for all the sacrifices you have all made for this great country.
There are times in life when you make a great decision, not realizing how monumental the effect will be on your life.
Serving was that for me...
@Madken65
I knew you were a career man, but didn't realize you were a Colonel! 37 years is quite a thing to give.
You have my deepest respect, and undying gratitude for your service to our country, sir! o7 🇺🇸
Thanks...Seems if you keep at it, you eventually get there.
I was somewhat lucky in an unfortunate way...Serving at the Pentagon and getting Major Generals as your Sr Rater helped get me my O6.
If I had been promoted to Major one year sooner, I would have been in the consideration for a Star, but alas, it didn't happen.
Not sure I would have made it through General 'Charm School'.

Thank you!
