After 21 years, I am hanging my hat up and officially retiring from the U.S. Army 21 years to the day that I signed up and an the anniversary of D Day. Retirement to be effective 6 June 2003 11:59:59 plus one second. ;o) Guess I may have to figure up another handle cause I now €hieƒ™ retired. I have my party hat on the those little rolled up thing you blow into and they pop out about 2 feet and make a honking noise. The Capt. Morgan is on the schedule for tonight! Cheers!

Congratulations and thank you for your service.
While I am sure you are very happy I also know it a little tough to leave something that you have been doing your entire life. Good luck and I am sure you will enjoy retirement or whatever else you choose to do.
I retired from the NYPD 2 years ago and while I miss some things I wouldn't go back :) ....

Congratulations Chief, and as others have said, thanks for your service.
I sometimes wish I'd have stayed in the Marines, but I was unhappy with the military life then. Probably would appreciate the military lifestyle a lot more now. I would definitley enjoy those reirement checks. I would have been 8 years into them now.
My nephew is in the Navy (is on the ship that fired the first Cruise Missle at Saddam to kick off the war), I've about half got him convinced to stay in, at the very least in the reserves.
It felt wierd walking off the base after four years. I can't imagine what it would feel like after 21. ....

Chief, don't change your handle, once a chief always a Chief, that cannot be taken away from you (unless you discrace the title). From a Air Force Chief. I know it is not the same, but still the title is Chief. ....

Well done, Chieftain! Did 28 myself in the green, baggy skin. Would do it all over again if I could do it the same way, but alas, those days are past. Now you'll have to make a decision first thing in the morning, "What do I wear, today"?

Chief, played with a 4300 I bought in 2001. Thought I needed MORE POWER! and traded for a new 4610 w/ FEL and iMatch 3pt (was just delivered this past Saturday). Great tractor, just haven't been able to do anything with it in all this rain. The window of opportunity for my hay field is past. Hopefully it will dry out by the end of next week. Ever get to MO, give me a shout. Don't have the CPT Morgan, but do have Crown Royal. Regards and congratulations. ....

Chief, sincerest congrats on a long, proud, succesful hitch. Job well done.
I'm not sure "as you were" is quite appropriate since you probably have trouble remembering what it was like before, but certainly you deserve to "stand easy".
Enjoy the rest of the ride.....
Best of luck. ....
