I am no longer a Sergeant. I decided the last couple of years till retirement I just wanted a little less stress. Should I change my name or leave it as is on DS?

Absolutely your call. I mean, you earned your stripes, so to speak, so unless you were demoted, I think you get to keep it if you want to, but if you prefer to go by "Cecil the Wonder Cat," that's OK too. :)

Oh....thought of a couple of examples:
President Bush, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush....
What do you want us to call you?? (Just be careful what you ask for)

I see nothing wrong with retaining the Sgt title. Like MNMama says, you earned them stripes!

My choice, I requested to go back to a regular officer status. Much less stress and paperwork.
