Just thought you should know.

So, as some of you know already, I'll be heading for basic in a few months. I'll be gone for nine weeks, four days, leaving June 15th, to get to my training location on time. I realize that this is a bit away, but I felt the need to let you all know now, so that, if I leave without telling you why, I at least gave fair warning. I will not be reachable for the time I am away, except when I get free time to call my family. So, that's it. Just thought you all should know, in case I leave and don't come back until I get back. A couple good things about Basic. It's paid, it'll keep me in shape over the summer, and, I'll be able to cry in relief when I finally get back online.

EDIT: Any complaints can be sent as PMs to me, read, and ignored. Thanks, y'all.

Aww! Best of luck Zefiel. Thank you so much for volunteering to Serve! You couldn't make us prouder. We'll miss harassing you for three months plus - but I can't think of a better reason for you to be gone!

Grats! And thanks so much!

Please film the tears when you return. Your anguish sustains me.

Best of luck, sir!

Best of luck friend!

Little advice? You get what you put into it. Contrary to popular belief, if you don't want to get in shape... you won't. This applies to everything you do in the military. You only get what you put into it. Double for basic.

Also, ...keep your wits. You'd be amazed at how fast everyone loses their head in an attempt to please the ...DS/DI whichever you have. Everyone takes everything WAAAAY to seriously, and the DI/DS tends to help fan this.

Best of luck to ya when the time comes.

For further reference, I shall be gone for 66 days, give or take a week.

My tips: remember your seven basic responses and give it your all. You'll never have to do it again so you might as well put what you have into it while you're there! But then, you probably would not have volunteered if you weren't planning on doing that anyway...

[Zefiel]

Thanks for the helpful info, James. I'll be sure to remember that.

UPDATE: So, I get to spend Monday night in a hotel, which the Army is paying for. So, I get the weekend, and then I'm gone. To those of you that I have threads with (Remember, I'm Zefiel, Asim, Semaj, and Al'jaroth), I'm sorry. I had hoped to get them done before I left, but that won't happen. My fault. To those of you that I know, but rarely see in Chat, I'll miss ya. To those of you I almost always see in Chat, when I'm there, I'll miss you too.

UPDATE: I'm back. Got out early, because I had some problems with my knee. But I'm going back when my knee heals up.

Welcome back!
