This made me cry.....so many memories! I miss the U.S. Army...😞
Welcome to the club sir, been retired for almost five years now myself it's a whole new feeling of awkwardness not being able to get up and hit that formation in the morning. I promise you over time that awkwardness fades....SGM. Hamilton (Ret.).
Thank you for your service. I first enlisted in 1983 and retiring off of active duty in a few months and I cannot wait. 32 years in service done.
Congrats and thank you for your service!
@@MyGirlsPlusMe I am in Hawaii now and retiring to Texas and there is so much moving parts. I am in the skillbridge program and I will start clearing when it’s done but I have already cleared CIF. Did you take advantage of that opportunity or as a LTC, did your duties keep you entertained until you went on terminal? :)
@@MyGirlsPlusMe disregard. Your HOH video just popped up. :)
As a fellow Soldier starting this process over the next few months, thank you for your service and thanks for sharing this experience! Congratulations to you and your family!
Thanks for watching JR and thanks for your service as well!
Make sure you clean your gear for CIF. Literally scrub it in the shower or they wont accept it.
Good luck man. 👍all the best from Canada
Thank you so much for your years of service. So Thankful for people like you in our country and for our armed forces men and women. Happy retirement so well deserved. It was very touching that AA did that. God Bless!
Thanks for watching JKevin!

Thank you sir as a fellow soldier that always dreamed of retiring from the army I salute you for you service and for being a officer.
Thank you for your service man enjoy the retirement brother you earned it
Thanks Justin!
Thanks for sharing your last day of your duty.
Enjoy your retirtment days. Have wonderful times with your family. ✅🍀🍀
There are so many things in life that really should be remembered internally. Let the focus be for that, instead of capturing it on some form of media only to be shared online in our online society. Thank you for both serving, and protecting, along with saving that moment. I hope many more are saved for yourself and your family instead of posting. Post away too if that's your thing, just glad you saved some memories for YOU. You more than deserve that!
Much appreciated comment!
Glad to hear clearing was easy at Leavenworth, Ft Myer was not so easy. I did receive my first retirement check as briefed.
Thanks Mike! Good luck!
Good shit sir
Thank you for your service!
Awesome SEND OFF BY AMERICAN AIRLINES😢😭 truly touching ❤️
Thank you for your service
That plane story was amazing ❤️❤️
I’ll never forget it Kodi! Thanks for watching!
To the top. Now to the Sky.
Thank you for your service. Great video.
Thank u for your service
Best wishes from Indian soldier
Sir I retired this past November keep and eye on DFAS they have been dropping the ball on retirement pay if you are not receiving pay after your due date, call them right away. If you need help with VA disability process or what you should expect I would be more happy to help.
Watching it like a hawk!!
Well deserved recognition.
Airborne sir!
From a sailor to a soldier, congratulations 🎉
Very few make it to this point truly a rare breed!!! I taped out after 4 years 😂
Hey- thanks for your service!
@@MyGirlsPlusMe like wise boss man enjoy your retirement!!!
Great video! Keep them coming, looking forward to seeing what’s next.
Thanks brother! Will do, let me know what folks want to see! Especially if it concerns the military or transition from the military!
@@MyGirlsPlusMe I don’t even know what questions to ask, haha. I’d be interested in how you cope with developing a civilian identity, if you miss the uniform, if you feel like it was worth it, all those things. I enjoy the RV living stuff too! You’re living my dream :-)
@@sdmiddleton6 Thanks brother! Good thoughts.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Congratulations!
I look forward to the next chapter LTC.
Thanks Pete! Me too!
CIF ugh! I cleared when I retired four years ago and it was a tedious process
Luckily due to COVID, she just took everything I had. I did owe some money though. Guess I couldn’t keep track of everything after 23 years!
Congrats, Sir! I start my CSP in FL in November! Looking like I’ll have to head back to Fort Myer to clear in some version of in person like you did. Really enjoying watching your journey. Thanks so much for doing these videos!
It’s been a pleasure. Thanks for watching! Anything else you’d like to see from my experience?
@@MyGirlsPlusMe I’m a percussionist in the Army, so my videos are primarily instructional and quite scripted out. I’d love to see a bit of “behind the scenes” about how you make your videos. You have a very natural way of talking to the camera!
@@HeyItsMattBell - LOTS of takes. And a little bit of thinking about what I'm going to say before I say it. Plus.....the wonderful magic of the edit - I can pause and think for 20 minutes about something and then cut that entire 20 minutes out!!
Hope you have applied for VA disability and very much hope you took the Tricare Retiree Prime medical insurance. For the money, there's no better medical insurance, from many years' personal experience.
Congratulations 🍻
Congrats
You’re going to fine LTC. Go and buy yourself an Army Retired hat, throw a couple of former Divisions you served in pins on there and go to your local DMV and get you a veterans state license plate. By the way, don’t stop doing PT😀.
Already got the hat! Thanks for watching!
I am thinking very well deserved send off sir. 😥
Absolutely Dale!
Good Luck with your new position, anything I can do for you let me know
Thanks Mike!
Congrats sir. I am surprised you didn’t final out before this tho. Hmmmm
Yeah Dale- me too! Local policy, to have to go back to the installation after the fellowship.
Hello
I really want to see you clear CIF. 😂 Nah I know you were teaching
Dale - I did teach, but I was allowed to clear CIF in December before we left KS. Had a private behind me watching me turn in gear that was older than him! 😂😂 Pretty painless experience though. I did not clear un-harmed though. I owed just a little bit.
No retirees need to have a haircut if they're as short as you--and as obviously balding as you.
I retired from the Army with a handsome moptop. I resembled Lennon from the Beatles in '64.
I attended transition seminars and briefs and VA disability benefits physicials.
No one on post saw me; no one cared.
I stopped attending PT formation a few weeks before my terminal leave.
Dude, your haircut was for your RUclips channel's content.
HOOAH!!!
