Major life change today . . .


Aug 11, 2017, 6:13 PM

Final out process from the military today. I get thank you for serving a lot. I want to thank everyone for the honor of serving. It will be quite different not knowing what clothes to wear and when to do what. But it is a good change and already have a job lined up. One thing that will never change is my affinity for those Clemson Tigers!

Thank you so very much. Hope this next step in your life is filled with blessings, including several more National Championship games!

Congratulations my friend. Thank you for your service, I'm sure you hear that a lot but it's worth hearing a lot. Many of us understand the sacrifices that you and your family have made.

Tips on adjusting to civilian life:

1. Don't shoot anyone. Harshly worded letters are now sufficient.

2. Do not attempt to spit-polish tennis shoes.

3. The term 'Tank' now only refers to what generally happens to USCjr's football seasons.

Other than that, you're good to go!

:)

Why do dogs always race to the door when the doorbell rings? It's almost never for them.

I for one am glad you are stopping. You are one of the most ignorant posters ever. You obviously think very highly of your own opinion, unlike the rest of us - RockHillTiger

Thanks for your service. If you have any of that military underwear it will last about ten years, unless your wife puts it in the rag bag. I have a story about those olive drab shorts and shirts I'll post sometime. Enjoy your new role and keep in touch with those close friends you made in service. A salute to you and best wishes.

I haven't been asked to do anything heroic like many thankfully.


Aug 11, 2017, 8:45 PM

But enjoyed it. It was rewarding and fun most of the time. You take care of that little tiger of yours. I'm hoping to get my little guy to death valley for the first time this year or next. Auburn was a fantastic experience last year but it's not the same.

I'm 67 and I still have this problem. I suggest getting a wife. They will tell you that you're an idiot and would be lost without them to dress you. So good luck with all of that.
