  • The Big Goodbye

    Cookies for the title reference.

    Anyway, I'll be heading to Maxwell AFB in Alabama this Saturday morning at the lovely time of 0615. That said, I'd like to wish everyone a pleasant month, while I go through my training to be contracted into the ROTC program at my university. I know I've rubbed some people wrong, but I hope I can return in amicable relations with everyone.

    -Hobbs

    "If it is necessary that I should fall on the battlefield for my country, I am ready. I have no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in, the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter. I know how strongly American Civilization now leans upon the triumph of the Government, and how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and suffering of the Revolution. And I am willing - perfectly willing - to lay down all my joys in this life, to help maintain this Government, and to pay that debt."
    -Capt. Sullivan Ballou, 14 July 1861

        Congrats. Maxwell isen't so bad. Rather a pretty base.

        We will miss you and look forward to your return.
