The Presiden't name is on your retirement discahrge cert. many of my gen retired rather than have Bill's name on it. What if Hillery is elected? How many will do the same to her that we did to Bill?

The President's name isn't on any of my honorable discharge certificates. I've never heard of a "retirement discharge certificate." All I got was a DD214 and a set of orders transferring me to the retired reserve. |

Lots of guys left the military during Clinton's presidency.
I just finished the book "Dereliction of Duty" by Buzz Patterson (on loan from Photokirk) last night. Good book. |

I just looked at mine DD Form 363AF, but it has the Wing Commander and Chief of Staff on it, not the President's name. |

My wife retires in May.
She has already said that she would never serve during another Clinton administration, as she barely survived the cutbacks during the first one. So, after 23 years she is pulling the handles. |

I think he's talking about the "To all who sees these presents greetings" thanks-for-serving certificate, NOT the DD214, but I think that's only for those with 25 or more years of service.
The next president will take office January of 09, I'm eligible for retirement that August. I'll stay in another 8 years to avoid She Who Shall Not Be Named signing my certificate. |

While it's not really retiring, I have to decide whether to commit myself for 7 years active duty 3 months before the election next fall. I'm going to do it, and hope for the best, but a lot of people I know are weighing their options because of the election.

Clinton's signature was on whatever the hell the certificate was given to me when I retired. It went onto the bottom of my birdcage. Seriously.

I knew two guys who stayed in just long enough to be sure Bush would sign their retirement orders.
I've got 21 in right now and more than likely will get mine signed by whoever gets elected this time around... I won't let that ruin the show though. Same kind of subject came up this morning at work. One of my coworkers is going to retire in the spring and we were talking about ordering his flag. Usually we order it from a senator from his/her home state and get it flown over the capitol. His choices were Kerry or Kennedy. After a LOT of thinking he finally told us to order it thru Kennedy's office. He didn't seem too happy about but he isn't about to let that sour the whole thing. |

My mandatory retirement date is in 2037..I figure on outlasting the next president no matter who it ends up being.
On, and the certificate I got when I was discharegd as an E-6 so I could be appointed a WO1 didn't have the President anywhere on it. Not the 214, not the wall hanger one. |

Billy Boy's signature is on my Honorable Discharge certificate, and I refuse to frame and hang it in my office because of it. I can totally see the OP's point on this.

Well, I have examined my DD FORM 363N (REV 9-95) "Certificate of Retirement" ...received only after my stint in the "Fleet Reserve" in which one completes the required total of 30 years of service/association... ...and its signed by a Vice Admiral, Chief of Naval Personnel. I don't have shit signed by the Pres.... I don't think that happens.... CPO SWCC US Navy (Retired) |

Better than having Bill Clinton's discharge on your final name papers!

CPO - you're right and I stand corrected. The actual certificate isn't signed by the president. However, at every retirement I've been a party to there is also a letter of appreciation for service. This one has been (at least in my experience) signed by the president. I'm a little curious as to why the services would differ on this letter.... I thought it would've been standardized. |

The thing is you are playing right into her hands. She despises the military so you would be helping her start the downsizing early.

I had been in the military like 2 years when bill clinton took over the office, and I have to say I knew alot of guys that retired or just said it wasn't worth it and hit the road. I din't understand that at the time and we will leave it at that.

I would never base such an important personal decision on what civilian is 400 levels above me in the chain of command. It's not like I have to fetch coffee for whoever it is. I've seen a lot more people retire because of bad immediate commanders.

Why? The fact that he is a complete sh*thead isn't any reflection on your service. All it says is that sometimes the country you've served isn't intelligent enough to provide you with a CIC fit for the job. |

Well, I guess as long as YOU don't serve on the White House staff you won't have to worry about that..... Tell me you didn't know that senior NCO's and officers served coffee and "treats' to party goers in the many "get togethers" that Hitlery and her dirtbag husband had while they occupied the Presidency... Those military members were in full dress uniforms.... And, Hitlery used to comment, in their presence, how "that's all they are good for anyway..." I think I'd wait.... CPO SWCC US Navy (Retired) |
