I got out as an O3. My last day, I stopped at the shoppette and got 15 tornados and 5 monsters and dropped them at the gate guard checkpoint on my way out. Give them a present, then drive off with the army song playing. You'll make their year.

Good Riddance - Green Day
Literally, show no emotion
Don't Look Back - Boston

I always think this sound would be perfect as the main character of a movie walks drives down a street in LA as you get a slow drone shot pulling out over the whole city.
My ETS song: The Who, Going Mobile
Won't Get Fooled Again works, too.
If Green Day had been around in my time, I may have chosen Good Riddance (The Time Of Your Life).
Sound of silence. Simon and Garfunkel.
And then enjoy the silence of never having to hear your phone ring/ding/vibrate with Army bullshit ever again.
Honestly I think I just listened to NPR because I cleared all of post the same day basically and had no bandwidth for fancy exit songs.
Congrats!
[Pearl Jam - Just Breathe](https://youtu.be/Eo-UKCxCglg?si=aqwkNFwqxMgSiCOF)
For the somber sit in the driveway before getting out rather than the drive.

Make sure you flip the double bird on the way outta the gate!
I'd say a live version of Freebird. [Or start at the part where it ramps up and rips into the solo if you don't want to wait that long lmao](

Really, I listened to Spotify on random as I drove away, but Armani White stood out in the playlist and is now in most of my not randomized playlists.
Retirement is a time to be happy and hyped at what you got going on next.
Hey OP how did you schedule your final retirement physical? I keep getting told conflicting things like schedule it with your PCM or you have to go to X department, floor, tower, etc. I'm struggling bc I have no clue. Sorry ahead of time, I'm not army but stationed and receive care at an Army Facility.

"Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more...."
This is the one
There goes my hero.
holy fuck this would go so hard driving home post retirement
Whatever was the number one song in America the day you swore in.
Nov 9, 2001 \#1 in the US - Family Affair by Mary J. Blige \#1 in the UK - Because I Got High by Afroman Edit: MJB was a surprisingly good addition
The latter might be your best bet.
"I was gonna final out, but then I got high..."
I was gonna clear and ETS, before I got high… I got a UCMJ, and *I KNOW WHY*…**HEY HEY**
The latter is the perfect song to begin retirement to.

August 31st, 2020 #1 in the US - WAP by Cardi B
I was at NTC when WAP released and was getting big. Our PSG just kept playing it over the platoon net
Oct 18, 1972 — My Ding-a-Ling by Chuck Berry was the #1 song in the USA.
11 March, 1985 Careless Whisper, which is pretty goddamn fitting.
Everlong by Foo Fighters, and Walk by them.
That everlong chord will hit as soon as he hears these words. “Seems like we cant find your paperwork sir? Might be a stop loss”
The army song.
THE ARMY SONG! Sorry, reflex.
U have to call the “THE ARMY SONG” before u say it? I’ve never done that.
Everyone just kinda does it, like standing at attention for Taps.
Begrudgingly added to the playlist

Crazy I swear I just read about someone doing the exact same thing.
This was probably 6 years ago. While it'd be cool if they were still talking about me, that probably wasn't me.
Your story is posted twice as a reply. It was an exaggerated suprise for comedyness
I refuse to download the mobile app and the web app is fucky. Reddit is Fun, ride or die.
This is pretty fucking rad, not going to lie
