Today my son retired from the US Army after 20 years of service.
He was an MP Dog Handler; 3 tours in Afghanistan, 2 in Iraq, several in other parts of the third world, even 1 in the Philippines.
I'm so very proud of him!

Outstanding. Thank God he returned safe.

many guys and gal who retire from the military find right off that civilian life sucks. I know I did but I found a company that hired and trained me and 40 plus years later I retired from the corporation. Your son can be proud of his accomplishments and I pray he adapts quickly to life outside the military.
You have a right to be proud of him! Please congratulate him for us and thank him for his service.
You should be proud. Thank him for his service.

You should be very proud of him. Hope he transfers to civilian life with no troubles. Tell him thanks for his service and congratulations!
I retired after 26 years and have now hung on to have been retired for longer than I served. I wish your honorable son at least that much longevity, too. GF
Congratulations to your Son and also to you for raising such a fine upstanding American Patriot!!!
When I retired from the Army in 1993, the estimated average post-retirement lifespan was 7-10 years (or thereabouts). I guess I beat the odds, because 26 years later, I'm still alive and kicking (and working)! Wishing for at least as much for your son! He may find the transition difficult, but there is help available.

I may be discharged and retired but I'm sure I did not renounce the oath that I solemnly swore!
Glad I wasn't aware of that stat, I always heard you have to survive your first year. I'm 14 years post retirement now, so GTG I guess.
To the OP, congrats to the both of you, and a hardy "welcome to the club" to your son.

Congrats to your son and Thank him for his service!
Thanks- passed it on.

Most every police department needs dog handlers, as does Customs and several other Federal divisions. If he wants to stay in that business he should be good to go.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
The lad is concerned with his son's last year in high school and prefers to enjoy the country life for a while; ne's keeping his options open.
Thank you.
