HQMC mailed my retirement certificate to me with my retirement pin…
Strange, the official 30 year mark is 01 May 2011 and I received it today…
Anyone have some geritol?
30 years in the Marine Corps? Yeah, I imagine that’ll make you feel old.

Congratulations! Thank you for your service too. I hope it was a fulfilling 30!
Im only 30 so I cant completely relate, but since entering my career and having my daughter 5 years ago, I can see that time does indeed fly by.
Congratulations, and thank you for your service to our country.
And remember that when you feel old - getting old always beats the alternative.
I hope your little guy is doing well. 
Congratulations! I hope it’s been a good ride.
Almost 4 months off chemo, he’s doing well.
Good news on your boy
Yeah I know what you mean but in a different way. I went to a buddies retirement ceremony last month and then I ran into another one who is a brigade CSM. Damn if only I’d stayed in.
Oh and I took the eldest looking for an apartment for college and Im only 40!
