This is it

[C&CDean]

make no mistake...

This is my last thread from work as this is my last day to work. I'll be turning in keys/badges/parking passes/laptop/blackberries/etc., then I'll hit the gym, go eat lunch with momma, and ride off into the sunset. 35 years, 11 months, and 26 days with the same company. Feels kinda weird actually.

Anyhow, I hope all you youngsters out there have a good enough gig that you may realize the dream of retirement before you're too old to enjoy it. Being able to go at 53 years, 9 months and 4 days is suhweeeeet.

Peace out homies.

So you have death to look forward to?

Seriously though Congrats.


More seriously though: death.

[Sooner_Tuf]

I am sure you will find something else. I know I am busier now and have more irons in the fire since I retired. Life gets better if you let it.

Now if I could figure out how to make all the old aches and pains go away life would be perfect.

[MsProudSooner]

I'm green with envy.....:D

I still have my Catalina Island exit strategy working....slowly. So I have hope, therefore you can keep your $50.

[NormanPride]

I don't know if I can make 7 years, let alone five times that much.

Enjoy the ranch, buddy!

His military service time counts towards retirement.

[jk the sooner fan]

His military service time counts towards retirement.

IF he bought it back

[sooner_born_1960]

I think you are confusing military retirement with just counting service years towards federal retirement.

[jk the sooner fan]

I think you are confusing military retirement with just counting service years towards federal retirement.

maybe - i dont think so however - but you might be right

[Howzit]

Stop being pugnacious.

[sooner_born_1960]

OK. Upon further review, I believe he would have needed to deposit an amount equal to 7% of his military earning plus interest, for those years to count. Dean will probably be here in a while to straighten us out.

[jkjsooner]

Dean did say 35 years with the same company so unless he considers the government as the company then this doesn't include military service.

Which begs the question, was he like 12 when he entered the military?

[jk the sooner fan]

yes this was allowed in the civil war - not encouraged per se - but certainly not something that was frowned upon

Yeah...I typed that when I realized you were an idiot without reading on to see that you knew you were an idiot.

[StoopTroup]

Dean.....go to the bathroom right before you leave and cut the *** cheeks out of the back of your pants....

You'll thank me later....:D

Congrats Bro! ! !

[C&CDean]

OK, I'll solve the mystery...

I joined the Army 5 days after I turned 17. I was in for 3 years, got out for a few months, then went to work at the USPS. So when I say I've got this time at one company, I mean the federal government - although the past 33 years have been with the USPS.

No, I've never carried a single piece of mail on a mail route (although I did spend my first 7 years in mail processing). I moved on to Vehicle Maintenance as a mechanic, then became a shop foreman all while living in Tucson. During this time I used to attend training in Norman at Couch Tower on the campus.

I got a fleet manager job in Spokane, WA, only stayed there 3-weeks, and got an instructor job in Norman in 1991. From there I moved up through the ranks and did all sorts of groovy things like open/operate/manage our ropes course, manage the NCED conference center (which allowed me to rub elbows with the Stoops/Coales/Sampsons/Spates/Cochell/Galloway folks and their players. Eventually I ended up managing several national training programs and that's what I retired from today.

Yes, my military time counts towards my retirement. No, I did not buy it back. If I was to draw social security when I'm eligible I would get docked 2% per year for my military time for not buying it back. I will not draw SS, so I will not get docked and my entire 3 years of military service counts towards my retirement.

I got taken out to lunch, happily turned in my stuff, and am making my first post as a proud ****ing civilian. No regrets, no tears, no worries. I'll be in the hay field before this weekend unless it rains today/tomorrow.

I think momma wants to have a party and she said to "invite your Soonerfan friends." I told her "if I do that, nobody will show up." Anyhow, we're probably gonna have a party at the Deanarosa, and yes, just like tailgates everyone is welcome when we have it. I've even got electricity/water if you wanna bring an RV, and I've got lots of room if you wanna tent camp. I'll let y'all know the date, and it may be as early as this Saturday.

Carry on, I'll be in the AO all day...

[Mjcpr]

Can we just use the ****ter in your RV?

[C&CDean]

Can we just use the ****ter in your RV?

Who's we? You never show up anyhow.

[olevetonahill]

Who's we? You never show up anyhow.

Ya got a tree I can crap behind?

[Chuck Bao]

I would like to attend your retirement party at the Deanarosa, but I don't think that I'll make it. Anyway, congrats and enjoy your retirement. I know that you enjoy working the land.

My advice is that you do not expect your family to be out there with you every time that you are, because you are going to be out there much more now. Just don't get Mama and the rest of family regretting your retirement.

Best wishes on annuitant collection...

Well how about that Deano, my younger brother worked at NCED in the late 90's I believe. Fitness area or somesuch. Small world.

[texaspokieokie]

Congrats; retirement is fine.

i've got 9 yrs of it so far.

[soonerboomer93]

Can we just use the ****ter in your RV?

he sold the trailer

(and the ****ter was full anyways)

[Fish&Game]

Congratulations! Retiring is a very big deal, you should be proud!

[OULenexaman]

hummm...no takers....that saved me 20 bucks.

[opksooner]

Congrats, CCD. Stay busy doin' sonthin.*

*Doin' nuthin is hard work. Ya can't take timeout.

[Oldnslo]

Good for you, Dean.

[SunnySooner]

I've been gainfully unemployed since my boy was born 12 years ago. Aside from the lack of a paycheck, I highly recommend it. The part about being able to pretty much do whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it totally rules.

Congrats and best wishes in your newfound freedom, I hope you are like my PawPaw, and manage to be retired longer than you worked!!!

[ouwasp]

I could retire in three yrs at age 51... but the fact that i'm sending the twins to college in the fall means I won't be able to afford to for some time yet... :(

So Dean, allow me to vicariously enjoy your retirement... thanks... :)

[pphilfran]

Enjoy!

I thought this was gonna be about Michael Jackson. What a letdown.

Lord be praised. I retire, go to a party for me at the neighbors, and I get the call. Dude who I've baled hay for over the past few years calls me and goes "Dean, are you ready to bale all the hay now you're retired?" I go "oh hells yes." This guy doesn't have a clue about the board. This right here is a $40-$50K job - minimum. I go "in."

Anyhow, I start tomorrow...God bless us one and all...
