Military Retirement: Charles Weko's Retirement Speech

[@menachem2521]

I've been watching your videos for quite a few months now, but I only found this one today. Great speech, great message, and congratulations on your retirement!
From a potential Army Chaplain Candidate.

Are you doing that Chaplain program where they route you thru the Army Reserve before you end up on active duty?

[@menachem2521]

@the_bureaucrat The program is for Candidates who need to finish schooling but still want to start the process of becoming a chaplain. Yes, I believe they're considered part of the Army reserve in the Staff Specialist Branch. I don't think one's required to go active duty after. They can stay in the reserves too, according to my understanding. I'm not in the program yet, I'm still thinking about it.

Congratulations, Chuck. Thanks for sharing what you've learned on this channel!

[@the_bureaucrat]

Thanks for all the support. Your encouragement means a lot to me.

An amazing Soldier who I witnessed do more for the Army than one could ever reasonably expect. Chuck, I hope our paths cross again soon. Thank you for dedicate service!

[@the_bureaucrat]

You are too kind, sir.

I hear children. Wouldn’t be an Army event if there were no children. I really do enjoy your videos; they are very helpful to a Major

[@the_bureaucrat]

Thanks. Majors are my target audience.

Well done, Chuck!

Thanks, Rich

Chuck, I can’t read your branch insignia. What branch were you? (Still trying to increase my Army knowledge.) Thanks for what you did and do. Nice speech!

I was a 90A logistician, but spent most of my time working in my functional area 49A Operations Research.
