Shipping Out

Post by Dc22x »

Tomorrow is my last day at home before I ship out on the 7th. I wanted to thank all of the Rangers who have helped throughout my recruitment process as well as my time as a DEP. The lessons I have learned from all of you has stuck with me like glue. Rangers on the site have helped me be as prepared as I possibly can be and now it is on me to go out and get it done. Thank you all for the advice and the lessons learned I don't plan on wasting them. I also want to thank Ranger Slowpoke for being my mentor. I have learned so much from him and feel like I have grown a lot during my time on this website. I will provided sitrep whenever I can. I can not wait to become a part of the brotherhood of Rangers.

Thank you all,
Damien

Better not ever let yourself down, let alone your mentor. Never quit. Otherwise, we'll beat you up and take your lunch money.

In other words, kick ass and take names. When the weak are falling by the wayside and quitting, find your fuel by getting pissed and then smile inside when you're among the few standing at the finish line. Just don't get cocky.

Good luck.

at the risk of being repetitive:
Never quit.

The rest is easy. Remember: they can kill you but they can't eat you.
