    Default Well....I done Did It.

    Friday 31 July....

    I retired after 37 total years in the Coast Guard.

    I did 25 Active Duty; then was rehired immediately as
    a Search and Rescue Specialist as a GS-11, which I did for 12 years.

    Over the 37 years, 26 were engaged in Search and Rescue and Maritime
    Law Enforcement; 6 years were in Water Safety, Swimming and Personal Fitness Training
    for Recruits and Officer Candidates. The other 5 were in Security
    and Law Enforcement shoreside.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    Congats on your retirement. It's like everyday is Saturday, no work today, no work tomorrow.

    Big congrats, now get some of that retirement money you earned before its all given away to illegals , transexuals, gays , criminals, blacks and other government leeches.
    At least you truly earned the money. -Tyr

    Thanks to all.

    It is a bittersweet parting.

    I was one of the best there was,
    but the time is right.

    Over those years...about 18,000 cases..
    I lost count and never kept a tally sheet.

    My son is going for his doctorate
    in Physical Therapy.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?
