Apologies to my friends and colleagues and even my enemies.

I'm out processing. Leaving the military. Leaving Germany. Moving to a totally civilian job. Gonna grow my hair long and sneer at authority. Gonna get active in local politics and raise hell.

I know I have obligations here at ATS. The Scholars forum, I haven't forgotten.

I have a current debate, I will find the time. Promise.

But leaving everything and going pure civilian is a change. A huge change. A massive change. A crazy mind-altering change.

*I just gotta nose bleed thinking about it*

So I'll try to be as opinionated, mouthy, and post-proliferate as I always was, but there will be gaps and to those that are relying on me, I offer only my humble apologies.

Well good luck in your journeys and new adventures. And im sure you will miss the german beer

To be honest, the Dutch beer or even the Belgium beer kicks the **** out of German pils.

Am I your friend?

Yep it's a tough transition beezzer

The first time you ask someone to do something and takes for granted that it will get done, only to find out later that it wasn't is a real moment.

Then there's the lack of order and self discipline

Then........................well you'll find out

All the best on your transition and if you ever want to vent feel free to u2u me I've got a thick skin (most of the time )

You've no need to apologise for having a life outside of ATS (I think )

You'll be missed in your absences but welcomed like a comrade on your returns.

Good luck on your new endeavours Beezer,

SO, back to the States or staying in Europe?

I go to the Netherlands quite often so would be happy to share a couple of decent beers with you, or if you get the chance to come to France why not a bottle of decent wine or 2, or 3, or 4, or 5 or 6 bla bla bla

Kindest respects

Pay attention in that class you have to attend for returning to civilian life.

And welcome back.

States. Though We're already making plans for a UK trip within a few months. The company I will be working for is quite generous with vacation days.

So, you've decided to stop sucking off the government teat and move on over to the private sector teat instead. Well good for you.





Hey, waitaminute! Is that my WIFE!

Congrats.

Honestly, I wish all military members would make the same decision.

Give me a shout if you're anywhere near London beezzer, I'd to buy you a pint or 2

Beez, I';ve been in your position back in 1998, and I'm STILL trying to adjust back to being a civvie. Alot of Vets will tell you the same thing, Youve been fully immersed in the lifestyle, its hard to readjust, but just keep your head up and you'll be fine. Dont be discouraged about not finding immediate employment. Also, if the laws are the same as they were when I got out, you can file for unemployment when youre discharged, which will help. You gotta do that from the state youre going to live in.
Welcome home bro!!!

PS: if you decide to pop into North Carolina, let me know, Ill take you to some of the BEST BBQ around!!!

Germany's loss...U.S. gains.....

You'll do great Beez...I bet you are so excited to be making such a big change.
