Congratulations!

I work in the private sector, so I don't get to retire... they'll just bury me at my desk and then yell at me for not getting my work done.

[Cleo Mavendorf]

Congrats sir...welcome to the ranks of the retired warriors....down on the left you will find a comfy chair to sit in while you regale the younger generation with your tales of hardship whilst reminding them that things are far too easy nowdays...on the right is a quiet room to reflect on all the faces you see when you think back on the past...and wonder how they are and what became of them....and in the back there is a small bar...best for getting yourself a drink to dull the ache of missing the comradeship and shared hardship.

Seriously, congratulations and thank you sir, hope retirement is everything you hope for!

[FLTCAPT Savar]

You made it! Congrats sir!

Now, what's next for you?

[Myles Keogh]

[Captain Talbot]

Outstanding sir, congrats on your first retirement. Know go forth and relax till the bill pile up and you have to start working again!!!

[VADM pRett]
