Congrats, Jerry! It's a good turn of events, and I know you will have at least 26 more happy ones in retirement. Thanks also for all you have done for our freedoms. You know we appreciate it.

Congrads my son also put in his retirement for 20 years in and he's just 39 but his 20 was in the Guard so he don't collect any till age 59 or 60 he had one year in Iraq in this time.
I almost forgot to say that you are now an OFFICIAL short-timer jerry !! You need to either carry a "short-timer's" stick (For pole vaulting) or get used to walking around the ladybugs, LOL!! When you get confirmation on your retirement date, you are "locked in" and should start wearing a series 200 lock on your belt !!
I read my post, laughed hard, and remembered that after my retirement ceremony, I was lost for 3 days !! A long time friend, then my subordinate, drove from FT Drum to Norman, OK, and did push ups in Class A's during the whole ceremony !! We got into civvies and I made it home 3 days later !!
