Thanks for sharing,
I found out about alive days when my coworker had a heart attack at 45 years of age.
Hats off to you for 28 years of service!!
I dreaded every day over 20 I did. My unit and I didnt exist efficiently together at that time.
I'd honestly never heard the term until I saw the HBO special that used it.
Over those 28 years there were some points where I wondered if I was going to make it. My unit at Ft Ord was one of them... But then I had some that I really didn't want to leave.
