RETIREMENT CEREMONIES

- Ceremonies are generally the last Friday of every month with a few exceptions due to holiday schedules at Club Stewart.

- Ceremonies begin at 1400/2:00 pm

- G-1 point of contact information: Ms Sasha Sween  (912)435-1565 or email: sasha.s.sween.ctr@army.mil

Here's the sequence of events:

1. Announcer does introductory remarks

2. Invocation (prayer) please stand

3. Nation Anthem - please stand and hold your right hand over your heart.

4. More remarks by the announcer

5. Retirees and their spouses will be recognized. Families, please feel free to clap, cheer, everything for your Soldier. Also, don't hesitate to take a family photo with your Soldier in front of the stage when they are called.

6. Retreat - please stand.

7. Division song - remain standing.

8. Army song - remain standing.

9. Retirement Medley - remain standing.

10. Ceremony concludes

Retirees will be in their dress uniform.

Spouses and families should wear business casual.

Soldiers attending ceremony but not retiring do not need to wear dress uniforms. The duty uniform of the day is appropriate.

If you don’t have a Military ID, you'll need to stop at the Visitor Control Center which is right outside of Gate 1.

They'll have to do a background check on you before they can grant you a pass. You, and everyone in your vehicle, will need government-issued identification (such as drivers licenses or passports).

Note: you can also use a DD1173 or DD2 as identification.

This process doesn't take long unless there is something that comes up in your background check.

Don't forget your vehicle registration and insurance.

If you have a Dependent ID:

No need to stop at the Visitor Control Center. You’re dependent military ID gets you on post without the need for a pass. Everyone over 18 in your car will need to show identification at the gate though (if they don’t need a military ID, drivers licenses will suffice).

Everyone is welcome to take photos!

Also, there will always be a professional photographer there to take your family photos as well.

These professional photos will be mailed to Retirees after the ceremony.
