Retired from the Coast Guard

[Yelcamino]

Well, I guess it's a wrap. After 24 years of service I finally hung up my uniform for good. On 18 May I enjoyed a nice little retirement ceremony followed by a good lunch! It's only been two days and I'm already bored! lol

[Vicinity]

Congrats! And thank you for your service. I see a few reasons in your sig not to be bored.

[Mike Holleman]

I've been retired for a decade now. Never had a bored moment. I'm sure you will find something to keep you busy wink wink.

Congratulations on your retirement. :)
I retired years ago....just don't tell my boss....

Congratulations Herb. If bored enough you can always sign back up as a civilian, that's what it seems a lot of the CG guys here do. They're always looking for someone to come to South Louisiana but no one wants to, for some strange reason. Enjoy your retirement, 2 more years before I retire from ABS and I cannot wait until that day.

Congrats on 24 years done. Enjoy your time now, you've earned it. I already completed 10.5 active USAF on the E side, I have a few more prerequisites, nursing school then back on active I go for another 10 on the O side. I can wait to stand in the same position you are in currently.

Thanks Bill! The idea of becoming a GS employee danced around in my head for about 2 minutes. I'm going to give the civilian world a try for a while and see how I like it!

Thanks! Your career sounds similar to mine, 12+ enlisted and then Officer Candidate School. Keep at it and I'm sure it will be worth it when it's all said and done!

Thanks Scott! My original plan was to do 4 years and move on but an additional 20 years snuck in when I wasn't looking!

[Payton King]

Congrats Herb! Watched a bit of "The Gaurdian" yesterday with my wife and was just talking about you. Funny how stuff like that happens. Hope to see you at and event soon.

[slck6t9]

Herb, I LOVE IT!!! Funny though because I am a civilian contractor working for the Gov. now making WAY more $ than they paid me active duty doing basically the same thing.

[Steve Chryssos]

Congratulations Herb.

Congrats Herb! I retired from the AF a couple of years ago and retired life is nice. I miss some aspects of it like traveling but don't miss all of the paperwork. It is nice seeing my kids grow up everyday.
