SGTFDA Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Well after 33 years I'm pulling the plug. After three more days in uniform they are locking me up in the station for 2 weeks. I think they fear what I may do or say for those last 2 weeks. A very real danger. They know me well! This photo will hang on the wall with the dead people. Will be moving out to AZ in August.

Now after all them years of having to obey the law and give them criminals the miranda and making sure you dont go against their rights you can finally realize that you will have just as many rights, if not more, as them. Keep low during the holidays and will look forward to the day we meet out in Arizona.Be safe my friend.Aloha,Stan aka Kaimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reno Chris Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Sounds great, Frank. I am roughly 18 months behind you. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Arizona is a great place (though Nevada aint so bad eather). Keep us up to date on how you are doing. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hey Sarge, just a note, you look like Rosan Barr when she tried to sing at the ballgame. They booed her too! Ha! Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuTSaurus Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Congratulations on your decision, Sarge, just be real careful these last three days, given the holiday weekend revelry... you know how the natives can be!

Dakota Slim Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Congratulations Frank. You may want to take the scenic route to AZ. It's still pretty warm in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGTFDA Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Thanks guys. We could start a new club. The old shits club. Grubbie you can be in charge as your the oldest old crap. I dread moving. I'll need 2 tractor trailer trucks to haul all my crap. Everywhere I go people are telling me how long I have to go. They know the exact count. It seems odd that people I don't even know are counting down. I was in W VA. last week and a guy walked up to me and gave the count. I think the whole town will show up to help me pack and get me on my way. When I tell folks I'm moving to AZ they all say I won't know anyone. Not so. I can count a lot of friends right here on nuggetshooter and I'm proud to say so. I'll need to come out and find a house in late spring. My wife will want to live near her sister (one of the Scottsdale bitc*es). That should be fun working that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Furness Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Congrats on the retirement Frank ... as others have said already ... lay low my friend!I have exactly one day and 1 year to go before I retire and move to AZ as well.

SGTFDA Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 GaryI've had a short timers calander on my office wall for the last four years. I was telling the young officers (children) about the short timers stick. They had a nice laugh so I had to wack one with my short timers nightstick. It's been very cold here. The children are lusting after my Russian hat. For the last 2 years they all howled every time I put my Russian hat on. Now the truth comes out! Well it's to late now. They can all freeze with their shaved bald heads. As long as I'm on the subject it's not normal to shave every part of your body, head to toe and bleaching their butt holes. As you can see I getting out just in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pondmn Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Frank wishing you the best in retardment oops! I meant retirement. I spent 20 yrs in law enforcement and retired as a Parole Agent after a line of duty shooting. Spent the next 15 years looking over my shoulder cause the Crips gang put a hit on me. No longer carry on a regular basis but always have one with me. Check out HR 218 federal law for your carry rights in all states. Just do an internet search. It only gets better as time goes on. No more hook-em-bookem. But you will still look around when you get out of you vehicle. The best to you and yours. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGTFDA Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 JerryArizona just passed a new State law. Retired Officers with over 10 years honorable service only need their ID to carry. The ID has to say that though. I had my Chief order several that read as required. I carry everywhere. Sometimes a little gun and sometimes a big one. I have several to choose from. These are just my woods guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
