PSYCHOcatholic Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 As some of you know. I have joined the Army National Guard...Well, my training date is just around the corner...in about a week and a half. Training lasts 19 weeks...roughy 4 1/2 5 months...little less. So, we arent like the kicked back Canadian army as bad as i wish it. We dont get computer access and stuff like that! So, it shall be a farewell for now! Ill want PLENTY of updates when i get back...ill be around the forums here and there, but somewhat fading away into the internets abyss. I shall however contact you other ways through my gf maybe to say a quick hello. She will most likely use this post...some of you know her as lostinyoux her name is Brittany. You guys are family to me, and i wish like hell you could come see me graduate! Ill be in Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. pretty far down from St. Louis. I am a Military Police officer in training. as of now, i am PV2(Private Second Class) Paul Dube. I thought it would fit that i shared with you the famous last words of one man who helped shape a whole country. "Freedom!" -William Wallace Freedom is what its all about!
Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 Paul, I just can't process this right now. I'll have to compose my thoughts and get back to you. I never thought I'd have a son join the military...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 Paul...WOW...gonna miss ya...but will keep things updated for you when you can come back. Take care!!!

Steel2Velvet Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 You'll make new and long-lasting friendships in the environment upon which you are about to embark. It is a special time for you, Paul. Give it all you have and it will pay you back many times over throughout the remainder of your life.

MarcM Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 Paul, this is the beginning of a whole new life. Nothing will be the same. You are volunteering to serve your country, and for that I thank you. Stay safe and make us proud! Marc

PSYCHOcatholic Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Posted January 31, 2006 Well, no important holidays from now til im done sadly. At least none that they care about. My 20th birthday will be spent doing push ups...and more push ups...and if they find out about my birthday...maybe ill get to do some more push ups. lol. I feel almost honored in someway to be a part of this. Feels pretty good. But then in some ways im scared and nervous. I dont know if im ready, but i guess i dont have a choice! Ill still be posting for a few days guys...not gone yet...but ill post my final goodbye here. Thanks everybody! haha, if anybody has any military experience or knowledge...PLEASE post some pointers!
blind-fitter Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 Hey, Psycho...you remember last week when I whupped your a$$ over that ill-advised joke you made? You later apologised wholeheartedly and I neglected to respond to your apology. Don't fret. I'm no stranger to inadvertantly causing offence myself..."You Are Forgiven!" Take care.
SoulGirl Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 oh my goodness!! that's big news!! good luck paul, we'll miss you! i hope everything goes well. you are very brave! xo
Uncle Joe Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 Tip: When the platoon sargeant is handing out duties do not volunteer. If asked if you have a driver's license do not immediately jump up and down and say yes. He may tell you to drive the floor buffer. (Happened to me). In short, wait til you get a read on people before you offer yourself up.
Foxy Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 Paul, there isn't a great deal to say, apart from take good care of yourself, and be proud of yourself for choosing this path, wherever it may lead you....keep in touch!
lostxinxyou17 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 hey baby you'll be fine and i'm gonna miss you alot. It's gonna be hard for the both of us but we are both strong and can get through anything!
Lucky Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 Paul I'm so proud! Good luck hon, We'll all be thinking of you, and all the other brave young guys. Hey on the if you get lonesome down there at Leonard Wood, just let me know. If you get the chance come on up to St Louis (it's not that far) and I'll point you in the right direction (the fun one). Elvy is right here too, just the opposite direction!
Levis Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 Goodbye, Psych! Good luck and don't forget this place! We don't want more disappearances. Have fun!
