Glad you all had a good time and I'm sorry I had to miss it. Pictures all look great, but it is looking like I will have to form you all up for some PT.
I've decided to stay 3 more years in Okinawa so I will not leave her until 2007, and that will take me to 29 years. My wife just made Chief in the navy (E7), so retirement should be good.

Its hard to believe that most of you have been out of the Corps for 20 years. I'm sneaking up on 25 and still kicking. Im moving next month to become the Futenma Air Station SgtMaj.

Take care, and I will be there in 08 - That will be the year I retire with 30 years.

Semper Fidelis,

SgtMaj Andy P Crout (Andy to all except Hennecke)
