Goodbye Everyone....for now
« on: August 30, 2010, 12:14:47 AM »

It's official guys. I've got about one week left and then I'm off to San Diego, California for Marine Corps Basic Training. I'll be leaving Guam on September 7, and I'll be gone for at least three months. You can count on me coming back though. I'm posting it a week in advance because I'll most likely not be spending as much time on the forum as I used to with what little time I have left. I hope to see some cool spin tops when I return (definitely gonna buy), and wherever I get stationed I'll be sure to have at the very least a couple tops and entertain the people I meet and maybe spread the fun. I've had a great time on this forum. It'll be nice to come back and see what everyone's been up to. Maybe I'll post a before and after photo :)

We will miss you Greaves504.  Your posts from Guam were very special for this forum.  What a great connection with that part of the world for us.  But more important than that, it was wonderful to have you and your personality with us.  Hope all goes well with your upcoming move and training.  Can't wait to hear how it is going and to someday have you back as a regular again.

From a retired NAVY Capt, fair winds and following seas.  Stay safe.  Looking forward to your return and some great sea stories.  For the benefit of those not familiar a fairy tail starts "once upon a time" and a sea story starts "now this is no .......... STUFF".

Don`t worry! All of here We`ll miss you and We  will be expecting when you return.
To me is a very happy thing that a soldier not only has the ability to handle letal weapons, but too a toy like the top.
take care and in your free times keep training!
