Outstanding! Congratulations and thank you for serving. A "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . .

Congratulations, Dennis M I retired back in 1988 from a federal law enforcement agency that also reissued my badge and commission book with the designation "retired" at my retirement. Was your agency involved with U.S. currency counterfeiting and protective measures for foreign and domestic VIPS? At any rate......ENJOY!!!!!! | |||

Congrats on the retirement. Catch up with the rest of your life now especially with your wife. I remember someone saying, "No one ever said on his death bed, 'I wish I had spent more time in the office.'" "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Congrats! I hope you have a long and enjoyable retirement! I "pulled the pin" in 2008 after more than 33 years in LE and being in my 50's, felt that I could put that experience and training to use on a part time basis. Tapering off from full time work to full time retirement seems to lesson the stress too and those I've known that follow that route appear to have longer lifespans. Any plans in this regard?

Congratulations! Enjoy your retirement. I've still got 11 years until I'm eligible for my 28 year LE retirement. So I'm on the downhill side of the mountain, but still can't quite see the end of the trail. | |||

Thanks, everyone! It doesn’t feel entirely “real” yet, but so far it’s working out well.
It will go quickly (no, I didn't believe the dinosaurs when they told me that, either... but the last ten went by like they were on a freakin' rocket sled.) I'd recommend paying particular attention to physical health in the last ten, since that also seems to be when things start to head south.
My last ride was a ’15 Expedition. That would’ve sent me to a different kind of retirement. The VW Golf Alltrack in the driveway, on the other hand…
Will do! Jackie has a wish list to work through when she's back in the game, and "travel without worrying about leave balances" is on it.
Nope, one of the tiny ones listed here. I did, however, have a line on my creds about "...being worthy of trust and confidence," which is proof that we were populated by that lot once. 
I still have a part-time foot in training-- firearms and legal-- which won’t interfere with any other post-retirement plans. Close enough to the “fun” for entertainment, far enough from the BS. The hours involved are minimal but in addition to keeping me somewhat engaged, they’ll fund my OTHER post-retirement hobbies.
Judge Judy’s litigants were much better dressed than many of my real ones. “Court pajamas” were a pretty regular feature of my defendants’ families/supporters.
It won't seem as distant if you start deducting weekends and vacation time. At some point, it'll kick into high gear without even needing that. For slow years, start deducting sleeping hours, too | |||

Congrats on a well-deserved retirement! I've been enjoying the heck out of mine. Can't say I've ever lost my ID though. I carry the card (LEOSA) but keep the shields in the safe. It took me about a year and a half to "adjust" to life outside the job, but some habits never go away, i.e., head on a swivel, eyeing suspicious behaviors, looking at escape routes etc. Tony | |||
