Unbelievable amount of fine print to read heading into retirement. Social Security admin just reminded me that checks are dependent on Hawaiian shirts twice a week. Too many rules! COL Randall C. SFC David Reid, M.S, PHR, SHRM-CP, DTM

CWO4 Terrence Clark - ....
I Had My Business Investments Set Up To Legally Avoid Paying High Income Taxes.
Thank The gods Made Some Personal Investments To Add To My Retirement.
So NOW, My Social Security Check Is A Shade Over $300.00 Per Month,
But Each Of My Condos Bring In A Net Of $750.00... I'd Have Lived In a Cardboard Box If All I Had Was My Social Security Check....
Now I Use My Social Security Check To Buy SOME Fuel For My Gas Tank..... LOL...

No!!! I am tired of all these grooming standard changes just to kowtow to a small segment of the population.

How are we going to keep up the stereotype of a veteran if this keeps changing? What's next? Changing grooming standards so people can have haircuts and neatly trimmed beards (for those that still have them)?

Enough I say!

I could think of a few more that have been ignoring the "retirement dress code" .... Cpl Vic Burk Lt Col Charlie Brown A1C Medrick "Rick" DeVaney Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen SGT Charlie Lee

Although, for Lt Col Charlie Brown the beard thing might have been a stretch.

To think I used to get pissed when the doc came to me with a shaving waiver for someone.

COL Randall C. - LOL! I did grow a beard for a bit (about a month) after I got out in rebellion to having to shave every day while on active duty, but I got over very quick.
I keep clean shaven and shirt/tie to maintain a professional image for my students. Some of my male colleagues, you would be surprised what they wear to school. Very unprofessional. I have been told that I am "Too old school." Be that as it may, I'm not changing.
