I guess this is goodbye...

Post by EK »

Well guys let me preface this with, i'm truly sorry I sprung this on you. This is all very sudden.

Over the course of this year i've been looking, hoping, and praying for some kind of direction in my life. I started college with the hope of doing just that, but it led to nothing but more confusion and doubt about my life. I started to look back and see what i've done with my life, who've I affected, and what I want to do with my life in the upcoming years. I've prayed and fasted, i've consulted people and i've thought long and hard about this.

I'm now an enlisted active duty recruit of the United States Marine Corps.

I wasn't planing on telling anyone this until I went off for boot camp, but apparently i'll be going to boot camp sooner than I expected...sooner than this term will last most likely. I had planned to live out this term and leave at the end, but as of now my family and friends take precedence over the ToO as i'll only have short bursts of time where I can see them because of the fact i'm active duty. So i've put in my recommendations for my replacement and now it's up to the current administration.

I truly love this community and all of the friends i've made in it. There are way too many to list so I wont even try, i'll still be alive and all that so my facebook page is open to anyone who wants to contact me. Though it's time for me to move on, duty calls I suppose.

Thanks for the wonderful years of experiences you guys have let me enjoy with you, you all will always hold a special place. I've grown from a little newbie on here to a pretty cool and respected dude...at least in my opinion. ;)

Thanks and God Bless,
Tyler

This is one of the best reasons to leave the ToO! Thank you for serving our country for the next four years or more. I will miss you, but I will greatly appreciate your service to our country.

I randomly stumbled on this thread through a ToO email, and I'm glad I did. You're doing a great service for our country, Tyler, and may God bless you for that. Blessings on your future! :)

Goodbye! :hello:

Yeah, like EC I saw something about the marines on facebook too and it didn't really sink in until I saw this thread. Whoa, didn't see this coming. Tyler, you're sure to be missed around here, and I want to not only wish you the best in the coming months/years, but to also thank you for all your work here. You've left quite the mark here in the last year or so, and it is appreciated.
