Congratulations! I've been retired now for 2+ years and it feels great after a certain adjustment period.

They're right about the uniform. Although if you are like me (don't be!) at around 1900 hours East coast time I'm sitting in front of the TV watching "COPS" everynight, saying things I shouldn't in front of my 15 year old. Well, maybe a little isn't so bad!

Key to retirment is to have a hobby that you'll enjoy for the rest of your life. Sounds like you already have one in your job. Great Deal. Still, stay safe and always watch your back!
