Free at last, thank god almighty I'm free at last.

I finally (8 months after submitting my resignation) got my separation orders. I am officially no longer a soldier.

WTF is this. This is how you make your first post calling out an established poster for no reason? Not a great way to introduce yourself.

Congrats Icy.

What, did you want me to post a scan image of my orders so you could get my full name and social security number for use in an identity theft ring?

Sorry, I didn't have time for that.

Don't worry about it, looks like a subtle spammer to me.

Congrats.

Wow, congratulations!! I can't even imagine the relief you must be feeling now. :)

[Danke]

congratulations!

[Kotin]

Congrats man, I am very happy for you.. You must be ecstatic..

[Vessol]

Glad to see you go out.

I feel guilty that recently I've been having thoughts of enlisting myself due to the desperate job situation here and just hating where I live. I don't think it's worth becoming a slave for 4 years though..

Move to NH -- there are basic job openings popping up all the time!! Unemployment in NH is one of the lowest in the nation, at 7%.

Definitely don't become a hired gun for the state.

At ease solider. Your training will serve patriotism now much more than it could overseas. Be ready and god help us all.

[CGeoffrion]

I felt empowered using my name directly in the past, yet now more and more I feel it's time to take a protective non SS relation title for personal protection against what is to come. Maybe it's time to change my posting name on this forum. :(

[amy31416]

Congratulations! :)

[pcosmar]

Congratulations.
As an old "Ex" you can serve your countrymen better here at home.
The oath stands.

Good news. :cool:

Start a militia unit - there is a real need for men with active duty experience as officers.

Congratulations Icy!!

Thought about it. Prefer to keep a low profile. My state has a state guard all volunteer unpaid force I've thought about joining. Then maybe I can recruit a local company and have the support of my state, rather than being labelled an extremist.

I have been an Active Duty enlisted MP 2years, commissioned Cavalry Scout platoon leader 8 months, Armor Platoon leader 11 months, Infantry Company XO 8 months, and 12 months as a maintenance and logistics officer at the end of my Active Duty. As a Reservist, I have been a Basic Training, Deployment training, and Joint Operations training officer 3 years. The remainder of my time has been in various transition schools. IET/AIT, OCS, AOBC, CCC, NBC, CLS, AA, CWLC, SLC, UMOC, and a few others.

I have a total of 10 years service.

Ironically, when I left Active duty in 2005, and when I submitted my resignation to the reserves in 2009, my senior rater was the same guy both times.

Too late. "we" are already labeled.
Better to embrace it, then change hearts and minds locally.

best of luck with whatever you chose. :)

Understand your thinking and agree with the goal. In my state, the State Guard is unarmed and is a civil defense type organization made up of ex military and wanted to be military who never were for some reason. While providing a useful service after hurricane or tornado, it is not a "fighting" organization.

I decided to "embrace the suck" FWIW.
