Retirement gift to myself.

Postby Copass pupil » Thu Jan 25, 2024 9:50 am

Sacrificed a lot for three years and decided to hang it up for good this time. Retired before 7 years ago but not on my terms. It’s good to be home and ready to start a bacon making business. Took 4 weeks to get it back but excited for this fire helmet. I just need to attach my chiefs helmet shield to it.

Good luck, I'm slowly inching closer to leisure time as well.

Man thats a beauty. Congratulations on retirement and thanks for serving all the folks in your community. First responders, emergency hospital staff, and our Armed Forces are the best.
