My dad's retiring, and I need a slogan for the banner I am having created. It is going to be him with a flag background, the words possibly flanked by cheif anchors. Please, I keep coming up with such cheesy things to say!

He's been in for 25 years, and he's the Doc on a ship.

Say what they say at retirement ceremonies in the Marine Corps, I think it came from the Navy anyway:
"Wishing You Fair Winds, and Following Seas"
Or, you could use the last order on a ship once it is docked:
Through with Engines

You can't beat the old chestnut:
"May You Have Fair Winds and Following Seas".
Give him my best wishes as well. I was a Navy corpsman for thirteen of my twenty five years in the Navy.

how about trust me, retirement will not hurt a bit............
a play [ish] on the words of trust me I am a doctor....
Good luck on the retirement to your dad, , the retirement ceremony is pretty nice and really focuses on the family and YOU get a lovely certificate as acknowledgment of all that YOU had to do without and sacrifice as a child growing up in the Navy..............my kids loved theirs.
regards

LIBERTY CALL LIBERTY CALL-comes to my mind the sweetest words to any sailor.
and for a fellow chief:
May he have fair winds and following seas.

"Damn the torpedoes full speed ahead", who said that? In other words, don't let the bumps in life hold you back. Stay positive, full speed ahead, don't look back.
