Meetings and Partings

Well everyone,

In 20 days,… my life will change. Dramatically. I will be a free man. I will finally be going home, never to leave again. Unless I want to, of course.

I have a lot on my mind. And I want to try to get it out to certain people.

This entry mainly goes out to all the soldiers I’ve worked with over the years.

Mainly, it’s an apology, and a thank you.

First off, I would like to thank all of the wonderful soldiers that I have met throughout my military life. I’ve learned so much from all of you. From some — job skills, from some — life skills.

I’d like to think that because of all of you, I am a better person today than I was nearly 6 years ago. So thank you. I will never forget any of you. Except the douchebags. They know who THEY are… Hrmph.

And now, I’d like to apologize for all the terrible things I’ve said over the years. I really didn’t mean them. It’s just that the army has never been for me. I’ve always hated this job… and I had so much frustration and anger… And I didn’t always point it in the right direction. I took it out on everyone. On everything. Including myself.

So I’m sorry if I’ve hurt anyone’s feelings with my words. I just… couldn’t adapt to the anger I always feel.

But in 20 days, that anger will be dealt a severe blow. Maybe even vanquished. I don’t know.

So if any of you soldiers ever find yourself in the Florida area… look me up. We’ll go out and get drunk and tell war stories. =)

Your friend,

Bruce
