AFI says “7.1.3.2. The member may request a specific military member or federal civilian employee, active or retired, be the presiding official. The member notifies the immediate commander of the member’s choice to officiate a retirement ceremony.”. Have a coworker that had an enlisted officiant.
Retirement ceremony gifts for retirees parents/siblings. Got a guy that doesn't have a spouse or kids but their parents and siblings are showing up for their retirement ceremony and the dude wants to have something presented to each of them but is coming up short on ideas. A couple of us thought the family would get a presidential thank you ...
I’m looking for alternatives to a traditional ceremony. Have a bbq/party at your house w/ your friends. You do whatever the hell you want for a retirement as long as if doesn’t mostly offend anyone or bring discredit to the Air Force. Whatever you do, try not to ask for a plane to be parked at the hangar.
I’ve been to lots of these ceremonies, and I’d say your idea of sundress and sandals is definitely appropriate for an outdoor ceremony in the summer. Sundress and sandals sounds more than appropriate. You can belt the sundress and wear a sandal with a low heel if you want to be dressier. Hey!
Discussion. I retired after 20 years. I explicitly rejected any talk of a ceremony. I told my 0-5 that retirement ceremonies are shitty for airmen. I was only at the base for a year and remotely worked from home (humanitarian). Nobody knew me. I also didn’t seek any certificates. I only wanted one thing.
Para 7.1.3.5 If the member chooses not to participate in a ceremony or if leave, hospitalization, or other reason prevents participation, the member’s commander or an officer designated by the commander personally presents the DD Form 363AF, AF Form 1344, retired lapel button, US flag, and any awards or honors that express appreciation for ...
Ceremonies just use dummy certs. It's the CC's responsibility (or delegate) to arrange the ceremony if you want a ceremony. Get with them. (AFI 36-3203 7.1) I did my retirement ceremony 5 months early and I didn't have any issues with the retirement medal or certificates. Everything had my actual retirement dates on it.

The leave AFI (36-3003, table 3.6, rule 21) says this is a permissive TDY. Meaning a CC can authorize someone up to 3 non-chargable days of leave in order to officiate a retirement. Permissive TDYs are not funded by the government. EDIT: I stand corrected. 65-605V1 5.19.4.3 does allow for a funding TDY for the presiding official.
ADMIN MOD. Retirement Medal Question. Question. Be me: 22 years of service both officer and enlisted. Retiring as an FGO. Made one mistake off-base with ZERO connections to the Air Force 3 years ago. I got an LOR (I own it) but spend the next 3 years doing everything above and beyond. About to retire and the subject of retirement medal comes up ...
