Hard to believe that this time has finally come.
Forty-two years and eight days.
Time for the new chapter to begin.

Dang, I thought 32 years was long. Of course, I started aging in dog years.

Congrats!

Congratulations. That was a good run. Thanks for your service. Now take a deserved break.

It was indeed a good run.
I have been incredibly blessed.
Most of all by having great folks to lead that give 110% each and every day.
The credit for my longevity is theirs, not mine.
I would have never made it this long otherwise.

That is impressive. If I execute my plan, I'll have had the gun and badge for 33 years. The last two may be interesting. You either worked for a great agency or can tolerate ALL the BS. ;)

I bet if you asked them they would say the opposite - that your leadership was key to their success.

Congratulations man, that's a hell of a run.

A bit of unsolicited advice even though I'm younger than you by a good bit, just because my dad was LE for a long time and also retired. Don't completely shut down. I think my dad went a little TOO idle and it drove him a little nuts. He's doing great now and I love him, but I think he'd agree the complete stop was not great. Relax, get lots of sleep, go shooting as much as you want, but try to make sure at least 10-20 hours a week you're doing something productive in some sense. A building project, a writing project, some community activity, something social, etc. It can be different stuff and none of it has to be hard, just give yourself a reason to get out of the house.

Enjoy, man, and my thanks for your service. You earned the leisure.

I will be spending quality time with these guys, among many other things.
Already have a fair amount of tuba work coming up.

Congrats Brother you earned a rest. I did 46 and my "retirement" is working as a Armed Guardian Officer in the local School District.
Elementary School children will revitalize you. As others have said do something for yourself.
