Thought I'd take the time in advance to bid everyone here a loving farewell in advance. No, I have not grown weary of this site, the community, or anything in particular like that. I'm not giving you all up or just moving on. I am however, enlisting into the United States Navy. They're are many reasons as to why I chose to join the armed forces, and just as many reasons why I chose Navy over other equally respectful branches. I don't feel it necessary to go into much detail as to just what I'll be doing, where or when I'll be going, or things like that.

I will say that I am very happy and very proud to serve my country, and look forward to seeing just where it will take me. Depending on where I go, my job within the Navy, and my schedule I may be able to come back with updates or new uploads or the like... but no promises.

A few friends and some other contacts with opinions I value and trust have known for a while, and may know a little more (for those of you who may know more, please refrain from sharing it as per my request) but I figure this amount of info and timing is best for everyone else.

So... as I have learned to say:
I am a United States Sailor.
I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America and I will obey the orders of those appointed over me.
I represent the fighting spirit of the Navy and those who have gone before me to defend freedom and democracy around the world.
I proudly serve my country's Navy combat team with Honor, Courage and Commitment.
I am committed to excellence and the fair treatment of all.

Thank you. I will surly miss you all.
