This past week, along with the new background for the blog, I received what could be the nicest piece of digital paper ever. ALMOST better than the orders I got for EMSWorld Expo.
I received orders transferring me to the RETIRED RESERVE starting New Years Day.
With my unit celebrating the holidays next month, I figured out that my retirement party is going to be the Saturday night of drill this month. So I pulled out my old “Sergeant Major Eats Sugar Cookies” format cheat sheet and began typing out the OPORD.
I never thought that I’d actually be attending (much less planning) MY OWN retirement party. I finally figured out that after 21 years, it’s time to give the reins over to the younger folks so they can try to be better than I was and not make the mistakes I had made over my career.
Also, for the simple reason of “because I can”, I’ll be bringing out the kilt for one more time this year. It’s getting a little too cold to wear it.
