    My cousin is retired Navy and now working for the Army. He retired at 58 and was bored so he now works for the Army Corp of Engineers. Salute.

    You don't need Medicare as you already have another Government sponsored medical program with VA. Right? You earned those benefits btw. So did I when I worked for 40 years and now get Medicare. I'm not going to be around much longer as I know have congestive heart failure and can't really do much physical activity. My heart is giving out. I had a major heart attack back in 2009 and had to have open heart surgery. I had 4X CAB, Maze, and Mitral Value repair. I spent 37 days in the hospital due to a MRSA infection. I survived that ordeal. Last year I had a catheter sent up my left arm into my heart and they found out that two of my bypasses had failed. And this past month my heart started giving out. I'm down to 20% efficiency in my left ventricle. And I also have Stage 3b kidney failure. So you won't have me around to play with much longer.

    Truely sorry for your situation. We go back and forth on this site........all the time, but I don't wish anyone ill will.

    The 37 days in the hospital with MRSA that crap isn't anything to joke with. I fought about of MRSA a decade ago, and you never want it.

    Later,
