Where I'm headed: I will officially retire on June 01, 2024, with 28 years of service. Charlene and I purchased our retirement home just outside of Tampa, FL in a cozy little community with great neighbors and no snow. Excitingly, we are expecting our first grandchild this fall! As far as work goes, I still feel the pride, drive, and really a need to be a part of something that matters and I can think of no greater calling than protecting our country from those that wish to do us harm so that others have a chance to better themselves, have a chance to meet the love of their life, and have a chance to grow old and spoil those grandchildren (at least that's what I plan to do)!
