Retirement Ceremony Updated

Just wanted to let you know that I updated some of the info on my retirement ceremony. We actually have some details nailed down for now. Still not totally thrilled with being told I have to do this with the approved script as opposed to just doing what I want. And it looks like I will end up paying for my own shadow box and just about anything else assoiciated with getting a retirement done (cake, punch, programs, etc.). How nice of them... especially considering that I STILL don't have a job lined up. Of course, I could have a job; but I'm still sitting in the Middle East on a deployment instead of taking care of things at home. I know that this deployment has cost me at least 8 job offers because I'm here instead of at home and able to take terminal leave...
