Are you kidding?!??
He's probably going to be busier than ever. (But on his own schedule.)

But, likewise same sentiments. And eternal gratitude from families of missing soldiers.


Now, we get to needle a bit more if he misses any future Grand Musters.

Congrats, Scout
Just be real careful, as this retirement thing is a little overrated. Gitn to do whatever you want, when you want to. You know the important things like, playin with the grandkids, shootn, etc. 

[Niederlander]

Congratulations on the retirement, sir!  Hope to see you at the Department of the Missouri Muster this year!

Thank You for your service Sir, hope to see you at Jerry's in Aug.

[US Scout]

Thank you all!!!

I'm sorry I haven't responded earlier but it seems one of my retirement gifts was a dose of the flu!  (Better'n a dose of something else though...).  I was pretty much down for the count the last few days - bummer of a way to spend New Year's Eve!

I am indeed looking forward to making a few trips west this year, to include making the Grand Muster and perhaps the NCOWS Convention (which I've really missed the last few years).

In some ways I will miss my job of the last 10 years of looking for our missing personnel, but it was time to move on.  Fortunately, we have a lot of good people who are just as dedicated to that mission as I was.

The good news is that no more trips to the Middle East, no more last minute briefings to senior officials, no more cancelled leave due to mission requirements.

[Capt. Montgomery Little]

Congratulations Sir!  As Cactus Rope said, just remember to spend your time on the really important people and things in life like family and shooting. Been spending a lot of time with new grandson of late and can't wait until he is old enough to teach to shoot (about six or seven more years...oh Lord give me patience).

Thank you for your extended dedication to the Military and the US. 

De Oppresso Libre!

Does this mean we gotta give back the keys to the executive whisky locker?   

So that is where those keys got to....!!!!
