Blueliner Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Gents. This chapter started on June 4th, 1990 at 0800 hrs and it all ended this morning at 0700 hrs. March 27th, 2020. I made it through my career relatively unscathed. I had one bout of cancer (God was looking out for me for sure) and a few burns, bruises, scrapes and sprains...and only 1 divorce ...over 29 years and 10 months of service. I AM NOW OFFICIALLY RETIRED from the Fire and Emergency Medical Services. 😲😎 It's kind of weird to be honest. Surreal. And it's unfortunate that I wasn't able to have a send off party like we always do for retirees. I'll maybe get it another day down the road. And I have postponed my retirement of a trip to Germany for another day for obvious reasons. So it's a little bittersweet in that regard. BUT...I'm fortunate to have been a able-bodied servant to my fellow man for almost 30 years. And I am grateful for what I now have as I move on to the next chapter of life at the ripe ol' age of 51. I've got my health. And I've got plenty of plans, and am willing and able. I feel a little guilty leaving at this moment with so much going on. Well...I'm not gonna lie...not TOO guilty. My replacement is a good dude who has a well-earned reputation of pretty much being a badass. The Division is in great hands as everyone is dealing with CV. The good news for you guys is now I'll be able to post even more🤣 Singing off as EMS-C #60981 3 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that'll change at some point. I am definitely ready for the next chapter. 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
