Just clocked over 20 year in the fire service. (Country Fire Authority in Victoria, Australia)
Started work as an apprentice Boilermaker (steel fabricator) in 1980 and changed to a career in emergency management in 1989.
Love being a firey as I get lots of time to spend with my daughter, 61 Corvette, garden and wife.

Like a few others on the forum things fell in to place for me and I was able to retire early, also (53). Every day is a 'Saturday' now, as they say. What to do with all that free time? .. Hmmmmmm .. Well, one thing I don't do is 'sleep in' more. Golf in the early morning................it's wide open after that! .. We gotta pull the pin sometime. Better to retire too early than too late! ..
