I'm going to miss each and every last one of you... Salut!
15 years ago
I really mean it.. this was a long time coming.. and very few of the people I know know this... I'm sorry if anyone I truely know doesn't know this yet... but from the time I post this journal on FA...
I ship this Tuesday to Fort Knox... Kentucky; and during the winter season no doubt.... honestly.. I'm sorry to all of those I never told.. I type this through wet eyes...
To... ALL of you who I know.. who will find this page, this journal.. I wish you good tidings.. young or old, male or female, gay or bi or straight...
If I am ever to return to retype this, I will... but for now.. I give myself a day.. a day to see how many people truely hate me for this.. I've lost friends because of my decision: Yes I like to shoot guns, yes I think combat is thrilling; BUT I DO NOT CONDONE KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE! What I'm doing.. who I will be dropping.. are people who kill innocents... people who do what they do because they believe falsely.. and I don't speak of the religion.. I speak of just ethics in general...
I'm sorry to all of you... Your Vox is not bloodthirsty... to him.. to me.. this is my last chance at my dream of college.. no loans, no grants, no scholarships.. Vox never got that... but when 80k worth of cash.. a 2k paycheck monthly.. and health benefits for life were waggled in front of my face.. with training to better myself?
I would've been stupid to turn it down...
All my fears... all my hate, set aside...
I love you all...
God Bless America... and god bless you...

Well i havent really known you that long. But have a safe time.
I wish the best of luck to you, I really do. I'm not the type to say things like that...
I've got a great deal of respect for the military, US Army, Australian Defense Force, whoever it is, all the same I guess. It's a big commitment to make. I'd have joined if things went differently.
It's a shame you were never able to finish that commission :P
Oh well. Good luck, Stay safe.
Your choice is yours alone to make and noone can judge you for making such a hard decision.
Especially when you decide to join a force to wage war against the tyranny that threatens the peace of this world (if any).
So good luck to you.
I hope I make the bullets you may fire someday. And the sights you use to narrow on your targets.
Cause that is MY JOB. And I do it well.
Godspeed~
