Thanks Everybody!!!

[Grayishhues]

I haven't been a terribly active member here, but I have gained a great wealth of knowledge from all of your excellent contributions. I appreciate all of the advice, and all of the help that each of you have selflessly offered. I've learned more here in the last six months, than I could have ever hoped to learn on my own. I recently decided that now that I've finished my degree, it's time for me to do something for my country. I enlisted in the U.S. Army. I'll be leaving for basic training in exactly two weeks. Hopefully once I get through all of the training I'll have an opportunity to rejoin this great community of wonderful people. Untill then, Farewell and Good Luck!!!

Don't be bashful about eating dirt when the situation calls for it. It beats the alternatives.
Good luck and drive on.

Congrats on the step into the military and thank you for this and your future sacrifices.      

BTW what MOS did you go in for?

Stay safe and keep you head down.

It's not to late to be "One of the Few and the Proud", I'm sure the Marine recruiter is in the same strip mall.

In all seriousness though goodluck to you, and be safe.  Most important bits of advice I can give you in this day and age is keep your weapon clean, maintain your gear, watch out for each other.

Thanks for serving in these, the harshest of times.  After spending 23 years in, sometimes I wish I was still serving...the comraderie is second to none.  Stay safe!! Brian

If you get stationed at Ft. Lewis, WA...look me up...plenty of bows and plenty of targets around the place here.  They could use some exercise.  Even get you some good food and chance to get away from post.

[Eastern fisher]

take care and if you get together with the Canadian army,  keep you backs to each other and help each other.  You are all in this together.

HOO YAH!

Thank you for you stepping up to protect our Freedom---Makes me proud to be an American!

Know that there will be highs and lows throughout your training cycle and that those of us that served had gone through the same thing or something very similar to your training. We will all be pulling for you.

Take Care of yourself and be safe----Take our call sign with you to basic training --- "IMUA!" (Go Forward)

God Bless,
