It's official...I am now retired today at 1500 hours german time. I will be flying back to the states on the 8th of March and back to WA state.

I have a little over 25 years total of service...what am I gonna do now that I am not working??? There is a small river on my rez that has a bunch of trout that need catching and of course to travel to every single NDN casino and win or donate to that casino...I hope to win of course.

I will also be traveling back to Europe in the summer to see some of the metal festivals and see some of the battlefields I missed while being stationed here.

I will miss the guys who are now serving, but its their turn now to pick it the slack and carry on after I leave today...it has been my Honor to put my life many times for my Country, and our way of life. I love my Country and wish nothing but the best to those who continue to stand a post and guard against all enemies foreign and domestic.

Congrats NSB, enjoy the civvy side of life now... when I retire, I'm going to spend most of it travelling in this beautiful country I've spend 27 years defending... hard to see the sights when you're overseas all the time..

I suggest you take some time to see your country as well... and really enjoy it.

soopashinaab · 03-07-2012, 08:09 AM

I want to say thank you NSB for your many years of service to this beautiful country. You make many of us very proud for what you did for us, and I wish you many years of relaxation and travel.

**Chevy_truckin_NDN** · 03-07-2012, 09:33 AM

yay!!! congratulations on a job done well. :) I hope fishing is all it's cracked up to be. IF you ever make it to Oklahoma, me and my family would love to go casino hopping with you! ahahahhaa. I love donating to every tribe's percap...just not my own casinos...
