I am retiring from the AF after 21 years this month and had the formal ceremony this last week. I made this pen to give to the lieutenant that did the planning and coordination for my retirement ceremony.

The pen is a Jr Gent rollerball with the unit patch on the upper barrel. The lower barrel includes pilot wings and an image of the unit's aircraft (KC-10). The Lt's name (not shown) is also on the barrel below the wings.

The pen is done with water slide decals on white alumilite with red and black segments to match the colors from the unit patch. My wife wanted to claim it until she saw the name...this one is for him. I expect that he will like it. :biggrin:

I don't know the lieutenant, but I could bet a lot of money - without any gamble, that he will love that beautiful writing instrument. Well done! Thank you for your service.

As said at my retirement... "Full speed ahead Lieutenant Commander. You may stand down sir!
I always hated being called "Sir". Love my men and my boat to this day.
Not knowing your rank, I'll simply offer you the same...Full speed ahead and may your course be true...and now to wipe the tear...I hate retirement!!!
God bless Rich...hope it's all the best!
