CONGRATULATIONS!!! Big Ape

First I want to seriously thank you for your service. Although I have never met you, there is no question in my mind that you have had one great military career. It is very obvious from your participation here. THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!

I hope your HH6 and Alabama are ready for you!

The Great Ape will, indeed, be missed. No doubt Army's loss will be his family's gain!

Godspeed, Dan!

The mind set that stays in for 20 will never become the mind set that doesn't serve. Serious mixed emotions are going to become a daily issue. Many of us that did 5/7/10 years have them and it's part of the reason we joined.

What did the "Pastor" say? "We are not like this because we were Rangers but we were Rangers because we are like this".

Thanks to everybody.

Puck, you have to be kidding. I wish I accomplished half the shit you have!

To those that worry about my mental well being, try not to worry. I have been a "70%er" all of my career so I only have to forget about 10 good habits to be a full fledged civilian.
