WASHINGTON D.C. — In a ceremony at the Pentagon, Air Force Col. and Public Affairs Officer Chip Cushjob retired after 29 years of service, declaring that he “would do it all again if [he] had to."

Cushjob said during his retirement speech, "I've spent three decades crafting my own perfect microbrews, smoking beautiful Cuban cigars across the globe, almost sweating on deployments to austere air-conditioned environments, and really sacrificed my golf game, taking all of those free family days.”
