Thank you

I'm shipping out on Wednesday and I'm not sure how much free time I'll have over the next few days. So I wanted to take a few minutes to thank everyone on the forum for all of their wisdom, support and banter.
I want to thank the QP's and Mods for organizing an amazing forum where you can learn what it takes to be a QP, can talk politics and sports especially hockey(the real reason I hung around so much) without all of the stupidity that occurs on most forums on the internet.
Thanks for all of the support and motivation, and for dealing with my stupid joke phase I went through for about a week before I realized that nobody thought any of my jokes were funny. Now off to take out the first 25m target.

Jon-
SA, buddy, SA - and every ruck march only requires one more step - head up eyes downrange! Good Luck.

Good luck! Stay in touch.

Once you get stationed at Bragg you might want to change who you pay your state tax to.
