Goodbye to all...

[Covey_Rider]

Just thought I would say goodbye to everybody...I'll be in the hotel Sunday night and I'll be on the plane to MCRD San Diego Monday morning! My graduation date is set for December 8th. So yeah, Golf Company here I come! I appreciate all the advice that has been given to me throughout my time here on leatherneck.com and I'll put everything to good use. Farewell to being a poolee and Marines here I come.

Take care and stay motivated. We are going to beat you down to your bare essence. Don't quit on us.

You are going to sweat and be weakened. Don't quit on us. You are going to be thrown to the wolves and beset on all sides. Don't quit on us. You are not going to do anything right or fast enough. Don't quit on us.

You are going to learn that the team is bigger than you. Don't quit on us. You are going to learn what Gen Mattis said, "Its fun to kill some people. Its a real hoot." Don't quit on us.

You are going to learn that pain and tiredness go away when you got a good sight picture. Don't quit on us.

Never quit, never give up. Years from now when you are old and dead you are going to remember that day when you stood up and shouted to the world, "I AM NOT GOING TO QUIT!"
