Strife. Promise me you'll form some sort of crime fighting anti-terrorist unit with lasers. Because then I can say that I know GI Joe.

And good luck once more.

Come on guys, I've still got sixteen hours left or so. Just because I still have to pack and organize almost all of my stuff before I leave doesn't mean I've left already.

Some of us may not be logged on at the exact moment you post that you're leaving.  So we're saying goodbye in advance, but not so far in advance as to make it meaningless.

I mean, yeah, I'll probably be logged on then, because I'm here all day every day.  But that doesn't invalidate my point.

Yeah, but final goodbyes are making ME realize how little time I have left. Gah.

Which combat game are we fondly recollecting, Org?

Good luck, Strife. Your influence shall be missed. (Careful not to set too many records out there.)

Hmmm...
Some old game.
With Siquo, and Inaluct, WD, and I do believe Pandar as well...
Do not remember the name.

The chaos one? Where Little was being overly forthcoming to Strife? Or the tactical one that Squeegy ran with the shooting dots?

Damn, now I feel the need to look over all of my old threads and do some more rping before I leave.

My cousin's already in Indian Country. As a combat engineer he learned mineclearing and lane marking. His instructor explicitly said to be extremely clear when marking lanes for tanks, and I quote, "because tankers are dumb as shit."

Do not be dumb as shit.

Respect your combat engineer's bridge ratings, obstacle lane marks and remember; do not start singing the Panzerlied over the platoon net, no matter the circumstances.

That song is best sung unbuttoned as a means of condecending to leg.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

I'll do my best to avoid being a DAT (Dumb-ass tanker) and respect my engineering comrades. Or Heavy maneuver enhancement units, as they were inexplicably renamed.

Of course, everyone knows that cavalry troopers are also better than everyone else. No other specialty gets their own special heaven short of hell.


Well everyone, I've cracked my last bottle of root beer, packed my bags, and finally wrote out thank you notes to various people that attended my graduation party. I've got to say good bye to the cats that are around (3/5, it looks like) and threaten my sister's boyfriend. Then I'll be out of here.

I've been trying to figure out some good songs for me leaving, but I've only got These Colors don't Run (Iron Maiden). I guess that there's also my normal choices in Carry on Wayward Son (Kansas) and Roland (Cruxshadows). Feel free to play a few for me.

"It's the same in everyone country, when you say you're leaving. Left behind the loved ones waiting silent in the hall. Where you're going lies adventure, others only dream of. Red and green light, this is real, and so you go to war.
For the passion, for the glory, for the memory, for the money. You're a soldier, for your country.

What's the difference? All the same."


It's been a lot of fun. Catch everyone later.

If not too late..........Letters Home from the Garden of Stone by Everlast had a huge impact on me while in country and now I can't really handle listening to it. It rings a bit true and brings back some tough memories. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10ej46Mhshg

June 15, 2010: 1835

Hello Aqizzar,

I hope that this letter finds you well.  I've been assigned to the 46th AG Reception battalion, Alpha company.  Everyone who arrived on the same day (14th) was designated as serris [sic] 195.  I'm Private 038 out of a total group of 186.  Unsurprisingly, I'm the shortest guy in the group.  It looks like I've got more experience in martial matters than almost everyone, thanks to JROTC, but we've been doing precious little drill and ceremony stuff.  Just lots of medical- and paper-work.

I don't have a return address yet, but reception is set to end on the 17th and OSUT and something semi-permanent should follow.  I'll write again then.

-Strife26 / 038

Damn, I hope my handwriting's legible.


It's close enough buddy.  Operation: Penpals has begun.
