DocWard Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Awhile ago I checked my e-mail, and there was an e-mail with an attached order from the Ohio Army National Guard. I am, as of 18 April, 2012, retired. I can't believe it. It might take awhile for it to sink in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickahominy Charlie Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 On this reverent occasion, I will quote (as best as I can remember) what my former First Sergeant said to the company on the date of his retirement: "I don't feel no different today than I did yesterday. After chasin' you crazy b@ast@rds all over every trainin' ground, battlefield and to hell's very gates, I was tired. And today, I'm re-tired." Congrats, Doc!

DocWard Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Thank you all. Mrs. Doc and I took the kids out to dinner just for a little celebration. I think we are both getting used to the idea that we won't have to plan around the National Guard anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacker, SASS #55963 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Thank you for your service! Sounds like you are a bit "surprised". Had you planned on retiring at this point? Good luck sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
