    Turning 60 and retiring

    Gents,
    today I'm 60 and from tomorrow I will be officially and fully retired after 40 years in the Italian Army.
    This is an important moment for me and I feel I have to share it with this fine community too.

        Wow a fulltime professional soldier. May we ask how high up the ladder you climbed in 40 years!
        I hope that you got a good send off and that you enjoy your retirement.

                Ian, for the send off I'll have to wait at least 15 months but it seems it will be enough to cancel our mortgage loan. :sleeping::money-face:
                I hope I'll have some pocket money left for modelling.:smiling3:
                About the ladder: up enough to get a lot of professionally satisfying positions and all those closely related headaches. :smiling4:

                    Welcome to retirement and a time when you can place leisure high in your priorities just behind health and family.
