I attended my last Marine Corps Birthday Ball on active duty, on Saturday night.  Had a great time as usual, but a little bittersweet too.

Thirty years! Man, you get a salute with BOTH hands!

Thirty years - wow. As an ex-Navy vet I'm not even going to try any of my usual friendly Jarhead digs this time. :applause: Congrats on the completion of a fine long career shipmate. What are your plans for the future?

Thanks Eagle and the rest of our Vets. I officially "Retired" 1 Nov after 25 years.

 

What, only 25 years? You get to wash schardein's feet. :P

 

Seriously, thanks for your [many years] of service, and welcome to civilian life. I hope your adjustment is smooth.

Thank you.  I'm going to take some time off for a year or two.  Do some things I enjoy like going Jeeping and hiking (while I can still do it!).  Then, I'll see what interests me.

Sounds like a great plan mate.  :beerchug:
