RETIREMENT is GREAT

[Retired Deputy]

I will be starting my 13th year of retirement in February and it has been
GREAT. I left after 31 years in Law Enforcement.

This is what retirement has been:

1] My pension has went up a little over $28, 000.00 [ that's the 3% a year COLA]. S/S is great...We have lots more $$$$$ than when I was working.
2] The new home I bought when I retired is paid off.
3] We have been on 14 cruises and 2 bus trips.
4] Have a beautiful grand child and 2 more on the way.
5] Have played golf courses in Colorado, Tennessee, Mississippi,
Georgia, West Va, and Florida.
6] Have played over 2500 rounds of golf.
7] My part time job "bowling" has paid me well.

SO hang in there guys........you will get there!

Glad you are now being rewarded for the long hours of aggravation, and birthdays, holidays, and special events missed with your family. May God see to it that you have great health, and many years with your loved ones and friends to enjoy it all, too! I have a few years left, and I'll be burning rubber out of Broward. Thanks for the great news and great encouragement!!

So why do so many go back to wearing a NAME TAG? they have no identity, the baby mama got half, new wife needs a new car, mare babies with the new lady, cant imagine life without carrying a gun, the free gas? I wonder

Good question, I guess some bad financial decisions, divorce, kids in college etc. Have your own plan and not worry about the next guy/gal. You work hard to get to retiremnet enjoy it and dont look back.

Not sure , ask Argenti in Weston. He might have an answer.

Some of those "lifers" need that badge to get the half price meals at the shitty restaurants. Congrats to those who made the wise choice to actually enjoy the rest of their lives in a more stress free environment.

To the "legacy cops and jailers." They will forget your name five minutes after you leave. You will not save the world and won't make much of a difference. Feel free to work until you die. The FRS will remain financially strong either way.

I'm so over this place. They can keep the DROP, and I'll take 5 years of sanity instead. Congrats on your successful retirement.

I would never count on him. He's barely even a good back up as he never answers his radio and spends most of his shift sniffing around the skanks in Terminal 4 that travel on Spirit.
