First off, I have to say it-- although I myself had kind of wished it were the case, my departure (or at least, my informing you thereof) was not an elaborate April Fool's Joke.  I am indeed leaving.  So here's the topic where I'll be posting as things go.  I will be departing for basic training sometime int he near future, which makes no sense to me seeing as how if I were enlisting right off the bat without any previous military experience I wouldn't pass the physical exams... but we'll see how it goes.  Maybe they know something about me that I don't know myself.

So Monday at 0900 I will be driven down with several other recruits to Richmond, to take the WWJD and get checked out to make sure I fit the bill.  After that, they'll let me know what my signing (hah) bonus is and when I'll be leaving for basic.

In short, you'll know by Wednesday at the latest when my last day will be.

Also, please participate in the poll.

Heh, I don't even know if I'll have finally gotten any of my books ready to be published in four years.  I just know that I'll probably still be living in Virginia Beach; damn city grew on me in an ironic twist of fate. :P

Good luck, man.  Say hi to Richmond for me.

I'll be in college by then, who knows how it will have changed me in four years, I might be on, just way less active.

I wonder what it'll be like, 4 years without Tacheon...

I'm a taaad confused, but goodluck anyway.

I'll probably still be here, but I really can't say for sure.

But good luck, Tach! ;)

I'm not sure, running for President in 4 years might be taking up a lot of my time... ::)

But I do hope to be here in 4 years still.

as with many, I am unsure of my fate relating to these forums. In the next two years alone I will be moving out of my house and going to college, and my internet access is already limited.

you can always, always e-mail me, though. That will never change.

I hope everyone is here in 4 years.

Because if no one is I'm tracking them down and gluing them to a chair that's chained down to the ground in front of a computer that only goes to TDC.

Heh, thanks for all the good wishes-- and I'm sure that you'll all find time to at least visit TDC on a pseudo-regular basis...

I'll be taking you up on that time sometime, trust me.

All of you, as I've said before, feel free to PM me your addresses so that I can mail you postcards.  Even your school's address will be fine if you can't trust a 28-year-old vet with your addresses :P

(be sure you ask your parents or guardians before providing personal information)

Haha that'd be cool!!

'Cuase that really would be cool..

Of course I'm not kidding, I'm sure you'd all love a postcard or two from, Russia, Iraq, BFE, wherever.

My family barely knows about my internet activity, so it would seem strange to suddenly receive a postcard from an online friend.
Also, the mexican mail service is a mess.

Same here.

Is there another way I can contact you once I get a place of my own?
Title: Re: Updates 'n' Janx
Post by: Uximadesk on April 04, 2009, 06:26:42 PM
Right! I forgot about that, I will live in an appartment when I go to college, so I guess you can mail me there when I move and get to know the address.

...Sounds like we might be the only ones...  


I'll share! :D

I guess that as long as you have money...
Wait, but how am I going to let you know what my address will be?

Unless he'll be able to get on TDC while he's gone, then we need another way to get into contact with him.

I'd so do that. My family are already scared that I'll run off with some guy called "Internet Bob", (who they have made up by the way) It would be amazing to freak them out more. But actually I'd better not. 
Of course it would be nice to hear from you as well. But I wouldn't want you to spend too much money on stamps ^^

As for being on in 4 years, I'd be in my first or second year of University (fingers crossed for Oxbridge) so I'll definitely have great Interent access but I guess it all depends on time and stuff/ what course I do. It would be nice to still be on though.

I'll still be here.

And I hope (Wish) I'll be a mod then too. (Wish will never be granted)

Yeah, I'd give you my Address and junk but parents and everything...

Well you know what it's like.

I'm honestly going to miss you while you're gone. I hope you'll be able to check in now and again to let us know how things are going for you.

I'm also going to hate seeing your PSN status change to "Last signed in: 4 years ago." It'll make me sad every time I sign in.

It kind of sucks that everyone is leaving right when I come.
Oh well, when life gives you lemons, you make cheap powdered lemonade
