Many thanks for all of the time and effort that you have put into serving your country and those of us that call this part of the planet home! Hope your retirement is everything you dreamed of.
Congratulations to you and your lady, and I wish nothing but the best of everything to both of you.

Retirement letter is in. Everything says wait till 30, but it's akin to a 20 hour drive, that last hour is the bitch.

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Be careful to those that opened the door, I'll have nothing but time.
To those that said thanks, nothing to say thanks for, though I appreciate it. It was a job, a job I enjoyed and an obligation I was happy to fulfill. So many before me that were far better and gave so much more.

Congrats, I envy the hell out of your situation.
Given any thought to what you'd like to do? That is the biggest blessing of not having to worry over how you'll pay the bills.

As of now the plan is strictly retirement. Thought I might do a part-time gig at Lowes for 2 years to get employee discounts for the [bleep] I'd like to do around the house.
Don't worry though, I fully intend on [bleep] up on the job, so as I don't get promoted. Paint on aisle 3 when I know full well it's on aisle 7.
I've no doubt I could run the store in 2 years but responsibility is overrated.

Be on the lookout for Steelhead rifle re-barreling in a few years. I'll have a range in my yard for test firing and will of course specialize in Ackley Improved.

Sounds like a fair good way to retire.

You know Scott, I don't know if it's the right decision, but it's a decision. What I do know is I don't have a career anymore when I HAVE to retire in 2 years, so it's time to get the afterlife moving.
