    Retirement!

    I AM RETIRED!!!

    After 25 years of fun and games I am now officially retired as a law enforcement officer in the state of Pennsylvania.

    It has been a great ride but it was time for the carnival to end.

    Now on to the next stage of my life!

    But first, spending the Summer kilted. Much more comfortable than polyester, leather, and Kevlar.

    Best of luck. Enjoy your freedom. Maybe you'll be like me and after a few months will decide to go back to part time working, try a different job and do something you enjoy while earning extra pocket money to top up the pension.

    Congratulations! Strapping on a kilt instead of a gun belt and vest every day sounds like quite a change. I'm looking at taking the plunge myself in a few months and have much the same intentions. And thanks for your law enforcement service.

    Congratulations

    Hope you have a long and happy retirement. I can thoroughly recommend the state of being retired. I've never looked back!

    Congratulations and best of luck going forward. I'm at least 2 1/2 years from being able to call it quits.

    Due to a forced retirement of my own (economical decline of business) I am busier than I ever was as a land surveyor. They are not all "Honey do lists". Invest in tools while you can. Enjoy the Summer first, like we did when we were school children.

    Good for you and better days ahead.
