Folks,

Today marked the end of a 21-year naval career for Dangerous Dave! I had the privledge of attending his eye-watering retirement ceremony today... The sacrifices a military member make are immeasureable! Please help me bid him Fair Winds and Following Seas..

Best of luck Dave!

Thank you for your years of service and commitment and sacrifice DD.....may the rest of your days be spent with grabbing the pole outta the poleholder!

And thanks for all the reports and good humor you bring to this forum.

Thank you for your service

thanks

Dave, Thank you

Don't know you DD but anyone who sacrifices for the rest of us is worth a salute in my book.

Thank you for helping to give us the freedom that we all so much enjoy...

Thanks Dave for your years of sacrifice, dedication and service.

Enjoy your much deserved retirement.

May your "decompression" be more than you thought it be.

Paul and Family

Thank you Dave for serving our country and it's people.

I hope that the future is good to you.

D'Dave, what dfirection might you be headin in this next step?.....again good luck

Thank you

I don't feel quite as safe now.

DD- Don't know ya but, it is a hell of a thing for a man to dedicate his life for the better of others. May the rest of your days be filled with bent rods and sore lips.

Thanks,

Downriggin and all who have responded to this string.

Thanks for the nice words. Had a great career and met tons of wonderful people. In fact most of the people I hunt and fish with were or are prior Navy. Still not sure what I'm gonna do now that I'm out, but will definitely have more time to fish...Hope to see you all out there on the water. Fish-On!

May limits only affect your catch.....not your happiness! Thank You, Dave!

Thanks Dave, I hope you have fun after retirement.

thanks dave,good luck on your next adventure!!!!
