I remember your countdown and the day you retired. If you would've asked me, I would've said it was about 8 months ago. Time really IS flying, and I'm still 3 1/2 years away from retirement.

It really is flying! Here is the thread I began on the day I retired.

Congratulations!
My 5 year anniversary happens on April 1, 2012. I still chuckle about picking April Fools' Day as my official date. 
I am happy with my volunteering gigs. I decide to go/not go each week, and show up when I want to. I do let them know ahead of time so they can find a replacement a few days before Friday night. I've only missed 2 nights out of 2 months plus.

I started my terminal leave in early February 2002... odd, I've forgotten the date. 11 Feb? Not sure.
But I was transferred to the Navy's retired rolls as of 2359 31 May 2002!
