Hey guys,

For those of you who don't read the forums, I am leaving tomorrow to
head off to boot camp for the US Navy. I appreciate everyone who has
sent me forum posts, IRC messages, and Aetolia messages with luck and
love. Thanks to all of you for giving me a way to lose 40 lbs so that I
can make this dream of mine come true (playing Aetolia all day and
forgetting to eat).
I've made alot of good friend here and I'll miss you all. Roux should
have my military address in about a week and you can pester her then for
it. I would love to hear from you guy while I'm out.
A quick summary:
I'm leaving tomorrow (Sunday) from Orlando, FL to head to Jacksonville,
FL (about 2 hour drive). I have to do a little bit of preprocessing in
Jacksonville, and then Tuesday I'm actually shipping out for boot camp.
Boot camp and all of my training is at Great Lakes, Illinois. I have 8
weeks of boot, 19 weeks of A school, and 11-13 weeks of C school. I will
get computer and internet again sometime in A school, but I don't know
when.
Again, I just want to say thank you to everyone for all of the
encouragement, and for every enjoyable moment you guys have given me in
the past eight months.

always,
Casey
