So since I've been stuck here, nothing has happened. Doesn't that come across as a bit strange to any of you? Or is this normal? Because as much as I was looking forward to retirement, this isn't exactly what I had in mind.
I'd also like to put forward an idea. There's a lot of us on this ship, and I mean a lot of us. That's a lot of targets and a lot of vulnerable people. I'd like to propose a training programme. Basic survival, first aid and self defence. If we're going to be landing on a strange world or in some other place in time, and believe me, I've dealt with this sort of thing before, I'd like to hope we're at least a little prepared.
I'm offering to run the training myself. I've got the experience and the know how to get things done. And this way, we'll all be a little more prepared.
And if anyone with any military training is interested in the forming of some sort of... Guard? Then leave me a message.
Yep, this is how I choose to retire. By not.
Brigadier General Jack O'Neill.
