Take care and good luck. You can't see it but right now, I am snapping off a rather crisp salute to you! I will offer you the same advice my father gave me when I left for boot; the longer they have to look at your name tag to figure out who you are, the better. Keep your head down, do what they tell you to do when they tell you to do it and you'll be fine. Another ol' timer told me "If it moves, salute it. If it doesn't move, paint it."

In all seriousness though, I'm proud to know you (albeit through the boards...) and you're entering a brotherhood that you will always be a part of no matter what. Be careful and be proud.

Now, GO and DO. All of America thanks you.
