I too retired from the military, US Army and moved back to the country. Grew up in the city and moved to the country when I was 16.
I told fellow soldiers when BSing when ask about what living in the "sticks" was like, "well I don't have to tell my wife anything there, the locals will call and tell her long before I can get home". For excitement "go to the gas station in town, drink root beer, play pinball and watch hair grow".
