JC, you're one of the very very few people who knows someone who went straight from active duty to ER without a transition career. Believe me, I've been looking for over 10 years & many discussion boards, and I only know three people like that.
In your opinion, what's the common thread that enabled those "successful" military ERs to do so? Was it frugal living, a stock-market surprise, forced by employment/medical disability, or a carefully thought-out plan executed over many years?
