Figured I'd get it over with, though I still have a week of being here. Every time I thought about it, I would get a little stressed, and now that it is so close, I can't describe the amount. I leave July 11 for Marine Corps basic training. I'll visit on my 10-day leave afterwards, but when MCT starts, I don't know if I'll have time for it (I'm not even sure about how the time schedule is at all).
I never thought I'd be writing this, not until about a year ago anyway. It's been such an experience and I will always remember this place. Too many names to mention that have made this place great, some of them not even here. But, hey, I guess everyone leaving, at least temporarily, is inevitable. I wish the community much luck and happiness in the future.
EDIT: I leave the 16th, the 11th is when I am verified as to be qualified with weight and physical standards.
