Chief, you are now relieved from your post watch. A job well done fellow navy veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. We all are grateful for your stepping up to the plate when your country needed you the most. The carrier has turned into the wind preparing for your final departure. The honor guards are stationed and final volley has sounded. Taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Smooth sailing shipmate.
