22 years ago today!

Post by CamoMan4025 »

Well it's hard to believe, but today in 1989 I started my career with the Virginia State Police. WOW, I'm getting old. If I can make it another 4 years, 279 days I will be eligible for retirement........but who's counting? The big problem is being eligible and be able to are two different things???? Oh well, guess I will just keep plugging along.

congrats to you Kevin!


Being a trooper has its perks but it also can take a toll. Glad that there are men in this country who not only serve in our military, but serve by keeping the us civil. :thumbright:

It happens faster than you can imagine. I did 30 + with GM and the last 15 seemed to fly by.Retire when you can and enjoy yourself. You deserve it.

Retirement is all that it's cracked up to be. Hang in there, Kevin, it will go faster than you think..

Keep at you'll get there. I just walked out the door today at 430 pm with 35 years pretty much done. 14 on the municipal police force and 21 on the fire department. With vacation I am done. Officially I have 35 yrs Dec 31/11. Man it seems like yesterday I was a pimple faced skinny little cadet. Came close to getting shot twice, almost got caught in a couple flashovers that were dicey to get out off and a couple of years ago a 100 lb propane tank levelled the back of a building minutes after we pulled out just to name a few but its all behind me now. Just gotta be carefull crossing the street now and maybe sneaking up on a turkey with a decoy held out in front of me.
