My fellow shipmates.
It is that time, for me to go on my way. I have had a long tour in OTF, for over 10 years. I feel that I have recieved as much as ever will be able to in the Outpost, along with the pressures of military and married life at home (which is only a small part of it), I feel like I am standing still in a big marathon here at the Outpost, I don't see myself advancing in the ranks or the structure of the Outpost. I have tried and tried, but I didn't try hard enough I suppose.
Everyone has been wonderful and I am greatful for the friendships I have made. It is something I will always treasure because this place has always been my 'cyber-home away from home'. And I know I will always feel that way. I never made it to any unions but I always caught myself dreaming that I was there. Perhaps one day. I also never really got to meet but one person from the Outpost. But everyone is real to me and I thank you all for your kindness and friendship.
I wish to pass on my title of "Lieutenant for Life" to Diane Dragonslayer if she really does want it like she was saying, I believe she was next in line. And Christena, you can hold onto my Lieutenant pips, I trust you with them.
Thanks for the adventure guys. And like I said, I tried my best, in the structure of the Outpost, the ranks, and in the friendships.
*salutes, and places Lieutenant pips on the bar*

I'm hurt there wasn't a paragraph on how much you're going to miss me.
Anyway, *salutes back* Buck you know my thoughts regarding you. And to be fair, I almost think it's harder to earn kudos from me than it is from the system. *wink*

Buck, I know this comes a few days/weeks late, but it's been more than a pleasure talking to you over the past years. I'm sorry we didn't get to talk together too often, but I do believe you still have my contact information. I'll always be around if you need an ear. Just make sure you stop by every once in a while, eh?

Buck, I was teasing about the Lieutenant for Life thing. Don't be a stranger. This place won't ever be the same without you.
I'll Miss you.

Just came back to see what is happening here. Good to see a few replies, my prayers are with you guys. Take care.
I think it will be the same without me, Diane.. I have to help the community first to make an impact on it.
