somewhat been planning for about a year. and by planning i mean buying gear and reading WB
First heard of the AT in the mid-to-late 80's when at the Pentagon. Started planning then for retirement in 1997, but was unable to follow thru (no pun intended) until 2012, 11 years after actual retirement. AT was always in the back of my mind, whenever I looked at or actually bought gear.

One year. I spent that time getting my gear and paying off my debts so I could go totally free from the "real world".
