Mike, I have to thank you for your 23 years of service to the U.S.!
I spent my 4 in the Air Force, but decided to go back to my civilian life afterwards. I enjoyed all my time while I was in, so I can appreciate what you wrote in your OP. There's been times that I have wondered how another tour (or more) could have brought more to my life's experiences. I'm so glad you have enjoyed your career!
Welcome to civilian life again! I know you will enjoy your retirement...
