Well the dude got piped over the side and retired from the Navy. It was a packed house as many, many friends and family said fair winds and following seas to the good doctor. I was blessed to be chosen to give a short, humerous speech and I hope it was recieved well by all. A nice reception was held afterwards. It was very moving and well done ceremony- a fine topper to a fine military careeer. It makes me wonder again whether or not I will have a retirement ceremony next year when the time comes. John said that you don't have the ceremony for you- but for everyone else so you can get closure and to say thanks to everyone who supported you over the past 20+ years. Right now I'm leaning towards a quiet exit stage right... no fuss no muss just one day going from a military guy and the next day waking up as a civilian... but what John said is making me re-think things.Aside from this bit of excitement nothing else is new. I looks like we'll go out to eat tonight. Perhaps the kids would like to go someplace special- maybe Red Lobster or some place like that.
