Congratulations! Thanks for teaching several of the next generations of Americans. Enjoy your retirement, you most certainly deserve it.

Congrats. My father has been retired 23 years after working 40 for the government. He is still doing well at 80, so I think you have plenty of road trips ahead of you! You deserve at least 30 years of retirement after all the work you put in.

Good for you. I will be 35 in 13 days. retirement isn't even on the horizon for me. That is why I play the lottery. LOL. Have fun, and if you get bored in a year or two, get a little pt job. LOL Not that you are even thinking about it, but I bet it would be fun to be retired and work at a hd dealer, or at a home depot or something.

I hope you enjoy your retirement to the fullest. My father-in-law retired from the post office last year. Man, I am very envious. Would be awsome to just take off whenever you wanted. WOW, that must be why I work.!!

Congratulations, Hack. Now that you are living on a fixed income, let me buy you lunch. I really like to help support the elderly [sm=icon_rofl.gif].

Seriously, PM me your cell phone number. I would like to buy you a round. 30 years in MCSD is quite the accomplishment. H-minus!!

congrats---take long trips---I just went to my pre-retirement briefing--I have the years (29) but not the age for full retirement I have 7 years to figure out what I want to do next.

Take lots of pictures
