FORT EUSTIS, VA (USTCNS) -- Under bright sunlight with the wind showing the brilliance of the state flags, Col. Clark C. Hall retired today (May 30) on the parade field at Fort Eustis.

It is the same Army installation where the Military Traffic Management Command's Chief of Staff reported for duty 30 years earlier.

"Much has changed in the past 30 years," said Hall, 51, "much has remained the same."

Hall said the Army of today contains such key themes as change, continuity and growth.

"What has not changed is the absolute dedication to soldiers and their families," said Hall, "and embracing Army Values."

Remembering that long-ago day he reported for duty at Fort Eustis, Hall said, the Army is much stronger.

"The equipment is better, the training is better and the people are better."

Hall said he is appreciative of the Army's soldiers today.

"Pick any rank, our Army is better today," said Hall. "I am being overtaken by young officers who are better than me.

"I am absolutely overwhelmed by the talent of our captains today."

Hall's wife, Patty, and his family were by his side.

A strong family life is essential to success as a soldier, said Hall.

"The pride and gratitude go back to you," said Hall, of Army family members.

In reflecting upon his career, Hall said that he and his eight fellow retirees were "grateful to serve the greatest nation on earth."

Hall served as Commander of Troops at the ceremony. Along with retiring Col. William Krantz, Commander, Fort Eustis Detachment, Dental Command, Hall rode in a ceremonial jeep to review a brigade formation at the Virginia
post's monthly retirement ceremony.

The retirement certificate and other awards were presented to Hall by Maj. Gen. Kenneth L. Privratsky, Commander, Military Traffic Management Command.

Effective immediately, Col. Tom. E. Thompson assumes the duties of MTMC Chief of Staff. Thompson, a former commander of the 598th Transportation Group, Rotterdam, The Netherlands, has been serving as MTMC Operations Officer.

Hall said he is taking a month off and spending time with his family in Europe on vacation. Upon his return, he will assume the new position of Director of Government & Military Sales and Marketing, in Washington, D.C., representing a Cedar Rapids, Iowa, trucking firm.
