Retirement Ceremony
Gents,
I'm currently working a retirement ceremony for one of your guys who's retiring outside of group. The problem is I want to have his retirement ceremony done in a more SF traditional way, if any. If someone has a script that they can PM me that would be great or offer some advice. Thanks

We have several SF guys permanently at Bliss in the SF PMT Cell, including a CW4.
They may be able to assist you, best of luck.

Just don't hold it at the Red Parrot. That place can be hazardous to an old man's health

Why was that in pink? NTM you forgot the pig (though that's usually the honoree's responsibility). In all seriousness, I've never seen a "uniquely SF" retirement ceremony (excepting the inclusion of the BoGB prior to the AS during the closing Honors; probably not something that would be well recieved in a conventional setting - despite the fact that the ceremony is for the retiree). The pomp and circumstance of an Army ceremony was always sufficient for those who had reached rarified heights, the rest of us were happy with everything from a handshake to a quiet presentation somewhere in the Co/Bn/Gp area depending on where we "hung our hats". The unique part has always been the party afterward. The memorable ones were exceptional because of who was being honored and who came to contribute to the mayhem. (When it's a "family business", it's all the crazy relations that make reunions interesting!)

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
