I wanted to let you all know that I will not be on RB for quite some time.
After a long decision process, I have enlisted in the United States Marine Corp. This is something that I almost did after graduation from high school and the calling did not go away, but got stronger. This is just something that I need to do. At this point, I do not know when I will be leaving for boot camp..could be a month..could be longer.
I am thankful to have wonderful support from my family and friends in my decision. They have all been terrific and understanding.
I want all my friends to know that I have enjoyed my time on RB! I will stay on RB and once I can take my camera with me, I will try to send some shots home and have my Mom (aka my Manager) post some for me.
Your comments and the friendships I have formed on RB with all of you mean so much to me and I will miss “talking” to you all! I will be checking in with you all when I can.
Take care Everyone!!

Alex, to be honest I have mixed emotions about your decision also but you have my support and I’ll be thinking of you. On my visits to the cemetary I’ll be sure to leave a quarter with your grandad. tony
