Today is my first day as a retired puke. I am now one of the defended rather than a defender.

Once a \"defender\", always a \"defender\", Coach. Thanks for your Active duty service.

Enjoy your free time. And now making A-10 models as hobbie? Or do you have something else on your mind.

Good luck!!

And nearly 25 years since you arrived at Bentwaters, I'm sure you posted you began operational Hog flying in '84.
The Bentwaters Cold War Museum have an op's board filled out with names from around the '85 timeframe, they have Coach with tail 160, his name live's on at Bentwaters!

Enjoy your retirement, I trust you'll still fly something?

Coach, you're an icon in the A-10 community. Don't know what your future plans are but there's lots of ways (and they pay well) to continue serving. Congratulations on a well deserved retirement.

Congrads Coach and thanks for your service. I'm sure you are not finished serving our country and the A-10 community and we'll be seeing your name in other circles.
