So, it seems that my retirement is complete. Whether or not this is a good thing has yet to be determined. Part of that determination hinges on my disability rating, which will drop from the 100% I was at for the TDRL to 20% as a full-time retiree.
In the unlikely event that this change will negatively affect my payment from the VA, I've applied for several jobs; a few of which may or may not require a move. Sadly, the ones I'd really like to get are the ones that are most likely to require me moving.
I think the whole thing has caught me off guard. I was expecting this revelation to be met with some form of grand emotion. Instead, I feel nothing, really. I liked having the possibility of returning to the military, but now that it's gone, I don't really feel any different.
At least I got a house out of it.
