Well, guys, it's time for me to finish up my ale and push in my chair at the Inn of the Last Home. I'm about to go on a long adventure, and i shan't be back for a long time. I'm leaving next week, so i wanted to let you guys know so that you could say your last words and goodbyes. I'll check into this thread frequently to see the nice things you guys say. It's been a joy talking of adventures with you, and just know that I will be back. This isn't the end of LanceReaver. My next post on this thread will be my final goodbye. At that point, I won't be able to get on here anymore. I'll miss you guys.

Your fellow Krynnish wanderer,

LanceReaver

Is Mina making your entranced body and mind take her to Disneyland?

Don't leave before you've had an extra serving of Otik's famous spiced potatoes! It's on the house.


And don't forget me either. I may only have a modest contribution of about 2 posts a week, but I've read everything that's been posted on this forum in the last year.

Why is Lance leaving? What is going on?

Hey Bandit_Raist what rate did you choose for the navy?

I am sorry to see the two of you leave.

I think Darth, that the absences are only temporary.

Probably some punk AZ or something (oh wait, that was me for 8 years) HAHAHAHAHA

B-R, good luck at Great Lakes, at least you'll have decent weather this time of year; maybe some rain but not too bad. I'm from Chicago (unfortunately I don't live there any more) and this is probably the best time to be there. When I went to "Boot" it was Sep/Oct/Nov, I had all the seasons packed into 2 months, but I was used to it. Enjoy.

I will always stay around.
I will not always answer on all the threads because I don't have enough dragonlance knowledge and history. I learn from you guys.

LanceReaver and Bandit_Raist I wish you 2 good luck!

Thanks man, I kinda can't wait to get to boot (I am sure I will feel otherwise while I am in lol) but from what I have heard I choose some of the best months to go aswell. My brother just graduated a month or so ago and he had to run in the snow all 8 weeks. That would suck!

Hey Bandit_Raist what rate did you choose for the navy?

I don't really have my rate yet. While I am in my A school I will figure out what my job will specificly be. I am enlisted to the Nuclear school and I will either be a Nuke ET, MM, or EM. Other then that I am an E-3 and should be an E-5 or E-6 by the time I get out of my C school. Yay!

How the heck long are your A & C Schools? Even going into boot @ E-3 it would still be 1.5 years to E-5 (unless you get early promote to E-4 out of A School for being 1st in class, but then it's still a year to 5) then 3 years to E-6 from the date you make 5. And that's all IF you make it on the first test every time. I hope the recruiters aren't overpromising you stuff.

Ehh, he'd most likely be on a sub anyway, so it wouldn't matter too much.

Farewell Lance,

I generally don't post that often, but prefer to watch and learn from those with a bit more knowledge than myself. Thanks for the posts Lance. Most of you guys probably don't realise the positive impact that you have just by discussing topics here. I try to contribute when I can, and interject questions when necessary.
I'll be around here for a while, its just my role is not always a vocal one. However, I'll raise my voice every now and again. I'd hate to be one of those who complains if something goes wrong but contributed nothing in the process.

Hope that wherever you're going there are like-minded individuals who can share a good tale and lend a hand.

It has been a pleasure.

All together training is 24 months. And we are pretty much given E-5 by the time your finished with it all. You would have to be an extraordinary individual to make E-6 after Nuke school. I wasjust being overconfident :embarrass

Well I hope you do not get deployed to the Middle East. EVER!!!

Like Rath said, I will either be on a sub or a carrier. The U.S. Navy wouldn't waste their thousands and thousands of dollars teaching me to press buttons located by the Nuclear Turbines just to have me shot by an insurgent.... I hope. :D

Well, guys, it's high time for me to go. But don't worry, I'll be back in a little over a month. It's not like I'll be gone for five years, like a certain group of friends we all know and love. You guys are like my family, and once I'm back, I'll post a new thread saying hello. Good luck out there Bandit. Trey, Leowar, Darth, see you around. And for anyone I haven't mentioned, just know you're in my thoughts. I'll miss you guys.

Dont go Lance, I think that Mina has found a way to dampen your will!!

I will take care of Mina. I can't promise that you will ever see her back (alive:D ). I still haven't got a good reason for not getting rid of her in the other thread.

But maybe I beter wait until Lance is back, than he can say goodbye to her (for good maybe).

It's 11:30 AM, and I'm fixing to leave. I'll miss you guys, but I'll talk to you again in a little over a month.



As a certain kender we have all come to love once said, "May your pouches never be empty."



Goodbye.
