I just received in the mail the most important orders from Army I've ever received: MY RETIREMENT ORDERS
I just sat for a moment and look at the paper, reread it. They even sent me an additional piece of paper explaining my retirement packet was received and accepted and the final sentence I was "officially" thanked for my years of service.

My BS Degree from Boston College because I dropped out in my freshman year. I didn't make the hockey team and was doing poorly in class so I left Boston College, and enlisted in the Marines. Then just before my release from active duty, I decided to go back to Boston College but was told that I would not be accepted after quitting. But the Marines gave me a Letter of Commendation and pulled some strings with BC. The Marine Corps helped me return to Boston College because they had a long relationship with this college. And the second time around at Boston College was much better than the first after 3 years in the Marine Force Troops FMF at Camp Geiger.

Happy trails, SGM Mikel Dawson!
My most important piece of paper is my 20 year letter. I carry it around everywhere, just in case.
