 Retirement with Class

Here is a Captain with class.....

Now this is the way to retire.....

Captain (in his summer whites) doing his final salutes...then the

boatswain (bos'n) "pipes him  ashore"

.....he passes through the "side-boys" down the "after-brow" and
"ashore"

where he "doffs" his uniform blouse, dons a Hawaiian shirt, his wife

cuts off his uniform trousers into shorts, then he puts on some

flip-flops and grabs a mug of beer

Nicely done...


Going ashore for the last time.

It's time to get out of this uniform.

It's too warm for long trousers.

These shoes hurt my feet.

And now....it's Miller Time!
