[null and void]

I’ll be curious to see if employers refuse to hire me, either because I’ve been “unemployed” for a few years, or because I have retirement pay coming in and thus might not be as “hungry” as some.

The reality is I’d be a damn good worker. Four years of retirement has made me ready to go back and work for 10-15 years...but will anyone even look at me?

Short answer? Yes. Despite all the goings on and shenanigans in the government and business world it is still possible to get hired. (Says the guy who has been looking for years!)

You have 25 years with a single employer, one who is noted for discipline and loyalty, one who is world renowned for its ability to get 'er done even when literally being shot at, with ability to make do and improvise even under the harshest conditions.

Some employers even preferentially hire ex-mil.

Can’t help but be pessimistic... but our demographics are slowly changing. There’s no guarantee that after Obama, someone like say ( heavens forbid ) Hillary won’t be waiting in the wings...

I agree...25 years in one spot....then a few years of retirement....now itching to get back in....some will not be interested - but many will.
