After five and a half years...

[Jayce]

Gratz!!!!!

[Meiun]

Woooooo, awesome! Glad to hear it man. Free to grow those Anders dreads you've always wanted now eh? hahaha.

[Scotty]

Grats. What are you planning on doing now that you're done?

If all goes well, I'll be moving out to Maryland for work.  I got a couple of job offers that I'm looking into, and gonna spend next week pretty much constantly on the phone.

Excuse me, but, what are you free of?

Marine Corps.

So your out forever? Or can they call you back any time? It's just that i don't know how these things work.

Any ways have a happy time! : )

Technically, I'm not *free* until 2011, but until then I am on the inactive reserves, meaning pretty much, I'm done, unless they decide to recall me before 2011.  Highly unlikely, as the trend that I've seen when it comes to getting recalled, is that they are looking for people who sat back and didn't do anything their entire enlistment (such as no deployments).  Since I've done more than most others can claim to want to do in the first 5 years of their enlistment, I highly doubt their calling me back in.

I suppose that he is going to College next. I remember the discussion that Meiun went to college first, but Scotty chose to go into the Military. At any rate, he's not me so I don't know for sure ;o. Well done, Scotteh!

I will be attending college while I'm working full time.  I  could just go to college and use the GI Bill that I've earned, and live off that, but I need to maintain my security clearance, and it'll expire next year if I'm not working and using it (ie going just to college and not working as well).  So I'll be a part time student while I work.  Might take a while to finish.

Woooooo, awesome! Glad to hear it man. Free to grow those Anders dreads you've always wanted now eh? hahaha.

Just gotta land the job first, then I'm not washing the hair ever again!

Aha! Congratulations Scotty. You look very handsome in those pictures, might I add.  ;)
Some of my pals have gone into the Military as well, but this is just recently were as you are finally free from it.

[LeGuy]

Congrats! And thank you for your service. :P

[Torch]

Congrats! And thank you for your service. :P

You've already thanked him with your tax money, silly.

[Scotty]

Congrats! And thank you for your service. :P

You've already thanked him with your tax money, silly.

I paid taxes just like every other American while I was in (except when I was deployed, everything was tax-free  ;) )

[Mystery]

One massive congrats to you. I sure know I couldn't have put up with the Marine Corps for a year, much less 5 1/2.

[11clock]

Confratz! :D

[Pat]

I swear I've seen those pictures before Scotty. Congratulations anyway.

[Mr Pwnage]

I swear I've seen those pictures before Scotty. Congratulations anyway.

You saw pictures of Scotty before Scotty existed? That's...really !@#$in creepy dude. All I'm going to say.

[DarkTrinity]

I swear I've seen those pictures before Scotty. Congratulations anyway.

I'm sure he has pictures from other events where he's in uniform. They probably just look similar...

[Titan]

I would like to thank you for your service to our country.
Congrats on getting out and having a free life!(until your next job)

[Lingus]

Have fun!

[Scotty]
