My Last Day as a State Trooper! VERY EMOTIONAL DAY!
After 14 years of service to the State of Oklahoma my wife and I have decided it's time to take a leap of faith and follow where we believe God is leading us.

First off Congratulations guys!!!......I worked with you for 13 years, as I retired from OHP last year. You and I have had several conversations about this decision and man I have to say...I'm 100% behind you, you guys won't regret it a bit. I'm telling you it will be a week or 2 down the road and you will realize a ton of stress has dropped away, that you never knew was there and that your worries in life can now be focused on those which matter to you the most. Don't listen to any nay sayers, send them my way, I can tell them you served this great state with dignity and pride....and it is a early retirement! Let DPS call it what it wants, you don't send retirement checks to someone who quits a job. You simply didn't stay in as long as they may have liked. You simply stayed for the amount of time was right for you and your family. Removing stress from your family, including your children, they understand more than most people give them credit for, is as big as a gift as you can give them. You can now be present!!!....You guys stay safe, this is a great move that you won't regret.....great video!

Congrats, I am putting in my notice today going to retire and put my food truck on the road full time and have time to do other things
A huge congratulations on your retirement. i certainly know about the emotions that you went through. I retired January 20, 2020 from law enforcement after 42 years. 35 of those years at Gretna PD, Gretna, Louisiana. After that retirement we moved to our homestead in Mississippi and I went back to work with Hancock County Sheriff's Office, MS. Long story short, I was there 7 years until 1/20/2020. I really had a tough time walking away from it after 42 years but I knew in my heart of hearts it was time. Again, congrats and wishing you much luck on you future endeavors, Carl and Dawn Homestead
Phil 4:13...you are trusting Him....He is gonna bless you because you are doing His will! Amen

First off I want to say thank you for your dedicated service and god bless you and your family doesn’t have to be worried about if you are going to be coming home or not.
I realize this is not a new video. I enjoyed your story very much. I was LEO in the Dallas suburbs. I worked for 21 years and also made the decision to retire. Moved my family to the country and took on the search for a new career. Good luck and God bless
God bless you both!
Yes you wont be doing the road thing, but friends friends gain not lose,, gain put more into your life, friends and family!
Congradulation, woo-hoo time to kick up your heals. So happy for you and your family. Good holsom Godly living.
I just stumbled on your channel. Awesome what you're doing and the decision you made. I made the decision to retire from Edmond at 20, instead of going further. money wasn't worth the risk and sacrifice. Beginning my new career on youtube. lol. And moving to the Philippines.
BEAUTIFUL. THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY!!
I watched several of your videos but this one led me to subscribe..... the emotional wife (as I am) with the loving husband, looped together with a relation with our wonderful Almighty God did it for me. Tough times ahead so plant food and can it for soon it will be a life source. Time is short.
I m so sad I I’m crying
Thank you for your service. And fully respect your dission. God bless you and all your adventurers.
Thank you i love it
You mean there’s been a channel that has almost 500k subs and it’s run by an Oklahoma state trooper, an agency I admire and have searched several times and I’m just now finding him after he leaves! Damn you UZworld
Not from OK but if want to thank you and your family for your service. I truly wish you all the best in the New Year.
You are a great couple and its very hard not knowing if your coming home or not ,Officer have became a target thank you for your service hope your life get better Happy New Year .
Congratulations. Sky's the limit, brother!
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ: the cross work, his shed blood, 1Cor, 15: death, burial and ressurection for salvation. The promised sealing of the Holy Spirit. You don't earn it, you don't deserve it, you can't lose it. Anyone who says you can is a liar. Be blessed. I love your channel, it s quickly becomming a favorite.

God bless you. I am new to your channel, but I totally get you wanting to follow God’s leading. May God richly bless your efforts
Congratulations on the retirement thanks for serving us in oklahoma
Good for you guys. I can see your sad to see your past go but also the pure joy of what you see for your future. Congrats. I hope your future endeavors bring even more joy to the both of you.
In keeping with the stated expectations mentioned around your 5 minute mark... The things you should NOT do...is ignore the call of the Lord and I am proud to have subscribed to a fellow believer. If'n God puts stuff onto your heart, he gonna 'bug' you about it 'till you do sumfin 'bout it. Congratulations sir, your future is one of the things that I will be seeking out on You Tube into the future. God Bless You
I worked they for 10years
do what you love doing
Thank you for your family's sacrifice and service, troopers and highway patrol have always been the epitome of respectable individuals in law enforcement imo.
Thank you for your OHP service Daniel. I'm a new subscriber from Alberta Canada and really enjoy watching you, your family and friends. I applaud what you are doing and wish you all the best in the years ahead. Merry Christmas and Happy 2021.
Thanks for your service brother good job for making what makes you happy hope you will have fun with your new chapter in life
I don't live in Oklahoma, but thanks for your service. I'm in Tennessee and watch all your videos but just now found this one.
Congrats sir (5 months later). I’m a 18 year veteran with the Los Angeles Police Department.. I was doing the math a few days ago and I’m 39 years old and I can’t retire until I’m 55.. so I have about 16 more years to go.. I can’t wait till I can hand end my stuff.. these days being a cop ain’t the same! Not appreciated like we used to be. But again, congrats!! Just happened upon your channel and fell in love with it! I sit in my patrol car watching your videos and daydreaming about retiring on an old farm someday!
Congratulations!!
👊🏻
May the Lord bless your obedience in Jesus name amen and amen
Good luck on the new adventure like the channel. I thought you could not have a beard as a trooper God bless.
God bless you
Great video and respect your actions and thank you for your service praying everything works out your way
GOD bless you and have a wonderful life
I'm a state employee also of Texas I work for Tarrant County Road & Bridge maintenance but I drive a truck if when I choose to retire at age 70 it won't be a whole lot more than if I had retired at age 66 hope you and your family are doing well and by the way I love the heck out of that shirt Jesus is the only way have a great Christmas
God bless you and your family. We love you for doing this, for putting God and your family first, having the guts to make the decision and following through with it. Tell us more stories of your dad and uncle, ok? We really enjoyed it. I have enjoyed your telling us about’ your gardening guy’ I forget his name but you know his name.😊🌱🌳🥦🥒🥕🌽🌶🍅🍠🥔
LOVE this story. You guys are going to be so blessed for keeping God first and being faithful to his calling.
Congratulations, my dad is Trooper Conway!
Thank you for you work! God has got you all planned out!
Thank you for your service my dad is a cop and both of my grandpas work as a prison guard just thank you for your service and my dad isn’t the bigger fan of this year because the stupid riots there so stupid and they block traffic but luckily we don’t have here it’s sucks because my dad had to work a friendly protest and it canceled a camping trip
Just subscribed to this channel. I left a 13 year career from a FD to start a new career with my wife. It was a total God thing and it has been one of the best decisions of my life. It’s not easy but God has always provided. So happy for you and your family! I look forward to seeing this channel grow!
Thank you for your service to your community and state. Only you know what’s right for your family don’t let anybody else tell you differently. I’m glad you get some benefits for working 14 years. Some states I don’t think you get any benefits until you’re there 20 years. I think it’s a good idea to get out, due to what the Democrats, ANTIFA, and BLM are turning this country into. Cops are threatened now more than ever. You now have 454,000 subscribers. Make that 450,001 subscribers!.... Me! This is the first video I’ve watched on your channel. I’ve watched Jimmy Houston’s channel for about two years now. Great guy. He’s got a beautiful place.
God Bless you brother. You did the right thing. I retired from the Florida Highway Patrol Aux. as a Captain after 10 years. Still today when a patrol car comes screaming buy , blue lights flashing, I want to jump in and go with him. Keep the faith ! God has plans for you & your family.
I hear you. I retired from the Houston Police Department after 30 years. Been there done that. God Bless you brother.
make those coyotes cry..
This video says it all. Faith, Family and Fun. Proud for you all.
End of watch...Thank you for your service and dedication. You have a beautiful family. Have Jimmy take you turkey hunting. May the light shine down on you.
Thank You For A Great Video. God Bless you and your Family. Keep Your Eyes on JESUS.
Getting out in time
I am a newbie from Chicago born and half raised and Spencer, OK half raised. I love your channel and your lifestyle.
Thanks for sharing. Luv the family, the life and guts.
Brother first off congratulations to you and your family! I’ve been in this game now for going on almost 22 years as a deputy sheriff in Al. I’ve been having the same voices telling me it’s time to go but honestly have no clue how we would make it. The demons that we deal with mentally and physically are very strong and very real and I hope that no one never has to experience that. Like you I’ve seen things that the average person will never see in a lifetime and I’m ok with that because it’s a true calling to do what we do. I’m man enough to admit that I sat with tears in my eyes most of the way through the video because it hit so close to home. Good luck my brother I truly wish y’all the best.
I love you guys and congratulations on the first day of the rest of your lives
I am so very proud of both of you, Daniel and DJ. God Bless You and be with you constantly !!!!
Daniel I am 64 years old and I know for a fact that jesus never fails.he will never leave or forsake us oh how I wish I could say that I have never left or forsaken him but I can not but I am so thankful to know thru experience he is as always there longing and waiting for us to come back to him. He will gladly welcome us back if we will repent ask for forgiveness.. daniel if he is leading you in this direction he will supply all your needs. I know DJ must have worried about you so.we live in an age when the bible says love of others will wax could and states are talking about defunding the police this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard but it should not be shocking it's all in the word of god.
LEO and Military are two jobs I respect more than anything else. Congratulations on your retirement. Looking forward to watching your videos. Glad I found your channel. The world needs more positive family's/videos to watch.
