yarghagrhagahgar no more Marine Corps!!1!1!!1

[Divinus Arma]

I will miss the corps. Its now official. I saved two + years leave (vacation), and I am out of the corps in ONE WEEK. I got my final approval for early separation today.

I have a job secured as a firefighter with a local agency. I'm just waiting on the start date.



Its done. In one week, I will be an ex-Marine, or Former Marine, depending on how you take your coffee.



Seven years (and change) of military service. Over.


At the same time, I will also be ending my law enforcement career, since I was an investigator with the military police in the corps. No more badge and gun. It is all over.


I am sad and thrilled all at once. The military has been great but it is time to move on. :2thumbsup:


Thought I would "drop the bomb" back here, since I am letting the world know today.

I hope you had a wonderful time at the corps! Enough being badass, time to be daddy! Have a few from me ~:cheers:

Congratulations and commiserations. At least, that's how I felt when I left the regiment, both exhiliarated at the new possibilities and very sad to lose the family.

Somehow, I don't think you will ever be an ex-Marine, it's not possible. You can take the man out of the Marines, but not the Marines out of the man. :wink:

I'm glad you have a job to your liking and that continues your tradition of service. Civvy street is often remarkably hard - not quite as many people you know you can rely on to protect your back.

May your God keep you and bless you. :bow:

(And maybe now you can let your inner liberal free...:trytofly:)

Eclectic reverts to civilian life at home with the kids, but not without the occasional flashback...

[Reverend Joe]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD... :sweatdrop:

For a second there, I thought, by the thread title, that the military was going to fold the Marines into the other branches of the service, and remove them as an independant branch! :dizzy2: Wow...

Anyway, congratulations.

[Devastatin Dave]

Congrats!!!:2thumbsup:

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

I think Banquo said it all, good luck.

Congrats! Make sure that if you join federal service that you buy back that time!

[whyidie]

Hope you find life outside the service just as rewarding. Congratulations on the time served.

[Zalmoxis]

Nice job. Good luck on life after the corps, just remember to get a job you'll enjoy doing.

[Geoffrey S]

Good luck, and make good use of your newfound time.

[Ludens]

Good luck, Eclectic.
