Rugged, smart-mouthed, brilliant...
This man is beyond reproach in honesty, military-drive, character-sustaining, and Team-building. He has a handle on a lot of things. I just happen to be one of the few on which he loses his grip. Sexy, clear-eyed, powerful, he usually maintains a sincerely tight ship. I appreciate those qualities immensely and will appreciate him even more fully upon his retirement.
His choice of course.
But, he's not getting any younger and the constant pressure to perform at this level so specific, a duty so focused in detail, it is making it difficult for his insubordinate to run anything up his flagpole. And, as you know, I love to run it up someone's flagpole.
Tap your replacement.
We know you are capable. But, like my Grandfather finally released at age 88 -- he knew when it was time to stop driving when he couldn't turn and crank his neck anymore. It has been my greatest honor to serve you and the Administration.
If you wish, I will accept your resignation in your own time.
I know a man who is completely ready for the honor of your commendation.
Look over the file.
If he fails...it will be the fault of his ranks...
Because he is a Leader with a heart of gold and a steel-trap.
As you were.
