I'm so freaking psyched!!:rockon:
My last "official" workday was last Wednesday - I have my retirement ceremony on the 13th of December. Seps on the 19th. And my official retirement date is 1 April 14!!
It's been a great 24 yr ride. Looking back I realize how blessed I was to have the opportunity to serve with such amazing colleagues. Were there bad times? Sure, there are in EVERY profession. But the good FAR outweighed the bad. That being said I'm so looking forward to moving on. It's def time. A good buddy or mine who just retired told me that when you no longer are flexible enough to deal with the BS and you're not having fun anymore it's time- he was definitely right- IT'S TIME!!
Thanks to all my peers on this board for your service. Some of whom I've had the opportunity to meet and serve with.:beer:
See you all back stateside!!:thumbsup:
