motorman587 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Started my 23rd year today. Time goes by fast, from writing tickets to printing them. To a camcorder to in car camera's, to radars to lasers. Thank all the board members through the years that I have been here from getting the view from the other side. lol Link to comment
Alan D Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Congratulatons! 42 years in my profession. From tying my horse to the hitching post to riding in a car with Sat/Nav. Link to comment
David13 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 23 years, 42 years, not bad. For me I'm starting 33 years. And it's still all the same old rat race. Not that I'm a rat, mind you. dc Link to comment
Danny caddyshack Noonan Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Would have been 30 in three months if not for a kawi crash, retirement and 4+ years for an engineering degree. Kind of odd that all my buddies are retiring this year and I'm not motivated to do so in the least. Some hassles really take their toll. Link to comment

MarkyP Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Congrats brother. I'm starting my 18th year next month and loving almost every day still. When I started we had huge low-band antenna arrays that would get skip from Texas, today I have a trunked radio that we can make telephone calls on. Tasers instead of batons, no more chasing...I'm constantly in awe of the change. Keep your head down and be safe. Link to comment

yabadabapal Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 John, its time for a desk job at the station. A couple more years and retire. Congratulations. Link to comment
Yeeha! Stephen Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 35 years for me at a Power Utility company. Retired at age 58, 4 years ago! Retirement is UNDER rated!! I LOVE IT!!!!!! <:-)) Got 35+ yrs in a Water/Sewer/Garbage Utility... Thinking about pulling the trigger. 59 1/2 and the 10% tax penalty is gone. Met all my goals. On paper it looks good. But! I sure am scared. Want to go play before I can't anymore, but spooked about being on fixed income (when I go I don't want to work again afterward) What did you do to push yourself through that door? (BTW... congrats John for the 23. Not many of our officers last that long. Seen a lot of them take the 20 and out. And, sorry for the hyjack ) Link to comment
