Not that I can recall although that was 20 years ago.
(If I had only stayed in the USAF I would have retired in 2005!)

I don't really have any regrets...I knew at the time the Lord was leading me away from the military it's just sometimes I think about how it might have been retiring from the military.

BEIRUT: President Michel Sleiman held talks Saturday with a number of Arab and international leaders on the sidelines of an official visit to Kuwait to participate in ceremonies marking the 50th anniversary of the Persian Gulf country’s independence.


Sleiman held talks with Syrian President Bashar Assad, his Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul, Qatari Prince Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, Spanish King Juan Carlos and Iraqi President Jalal Talbani.

Sleiman’s discussions with the Syrian, Turkish and Qatari heads of states follow the failure of efforts mediated by them, as well as Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdel Aziz, to break the deadlock between rival Lebanese camps over the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
