Everything mentioned doesn't have to be game used. But the real question is what are you going to do now since leaving work. Come to think of it,how mant of us check this Forum while at work-show of hands. Nice auto by the way.

Sweet pic. Since SU doesn't have a football program anymore, it's nice that we still have basketball to look forward to...

I've seen your picture, you look too young to retire. I am 44 and have been off with a medical issue and am going nuts. What are you going to do now??

Nice item btw...

Thats the wonderful thing about the military in terms of retirement. You can enter when you're 18 and retire in 20 years and then, if you so choose get another job and work there and retire again and have two retirements. I wish I'd considered doing that a long time ago...I'd be half way to retirement already!!! Oh well....Congrats on your retirement! Enjoy!

Eric, that wasn't a football team that lost to Northwestern opening weekend in Evanston, IL? I must have dreamed the whole game.

Tony, congratulations on your retirement, that photo is SWEET!

Joelsabi:
Yes, Jim Boeheim is a class act! I was so happy for him to
finally get that monkey off his back: 2003 NCAA National Champions

Swoboda4:
I'm in and out of this forum throughout the entire day at work. It's hard not to be. My hands are held way up high :)

Eric:
Ouch! SU Football - How sad is it to see SU Football what it is today? Well, I guess you can consider the Cuse in the "Toilet Bowl" :)

My Mom says it's the Italian blood in us. My Mom is 72 and looks 50. That's one thing I'm glad my Mom gave me. What am I going to do now? Luckily, my previous Commanding Officer retired and recommended me for a job where she last worked. They contacted me two weeks ago and offerred me the job, without an interview. It's a GS-12 position, and pays well.

Whatupyos:
That is a wonderful thing about the military. They've been paying me for 30 years, and now that I'm done, they will still continue to pay me 75% of my base pay for the rest of my life. Can't complain!

To those above, and the rest of you who, thanks for the kinds words of my retirement. My ceremony is on 10 October. I will post a few pictures the following week.

As always, a great forum with great people.

Regards, Tony
