Everyone, it has been a very long time since last I was graced with your presence. By the time many of you see this post I will be long gone; setting out on the adventure of a lifetime and beginning my career in the United States Navy. I wish to thank everyone on here, you have all truly touched my life through our conversations and your kindness.

I realize this post will be clicked by the newer members who have joined out of idle curiosity, or perhaps they are intrigued by a name such as Whackem. To the newbies I extend my hand in welcome to my long forsaken home. You will make many friends here with good people who genuinely care about you.

To the old crew, it has been a blast bouncing ideas off one another, long drawn out chat sessions and even some wildly irresponsible roleplay in the chatroom. I love and will miss you all.

But duty, life and adventure calls. You know me, I have no other recourse than to answer, diving headlong into whatever this new life may bring.

Again, thank you all.

Anchors Aweigh

Whackem.

P.S. Those who know me know that I abhor the use of smileys, but in this instance I am willing to make an exception

I got so excited to see your name, only to find out you won't be staying.

But-- but it's time to move on. *nods* God bless you in this new course of life, my friend.

May God guide all your voyages, Whackem!

The best adventures are yet to come. Blessings, Whackem!

Have fun Wackem!!!

Keep looking up and stay awesome wherever you find yourself, Whackem. You'll be missed.

See you, Whackem. Have lots of fun!!!

Oh... not going to cry, not going to cry...

Blast it, can't see the screen too well through the tears. *sigh* Well... I'm gonna miss you, Whack... you've got my number, though; maybe call me someday if you ever get the chance, just for a few minutes to reassure my easily paranoid mind that you haven't died?

So yes. I'm going to miss you, so very much, but I wish you the best of luck and hope this helps you find whatever it is you've been searching for. Thank you for being my friend and big brother. Love you, man. May God bless you and keep you.

Take care, Whackem! Be safe!

We will miss you, Whackem! God bless and keep you as you head out on your adventures! *Massive hugs*

Aw, man...I wish you well, Whackem. The times we interacted in chat, I found you to be a funny and nice person, and I hope someday, you'll come back to HW.

Farewell, Whackem! Keep close to God, and stay safe.

We will miss you, Whackem, but being a military brat I can honestly say I am so proud to see you take up the call to protect not only our freedom, but our families. Serve well, be a shining witness in an environment that needs it, and hold close the values that lead you to take up this mantle.

May God richly bless you as you proudly serve in the US Military.

May God bless you, Whackem!

I pray the Lord would use you to share His light as you serve our country. Stay safe and we hope to see you back here again someday in the future. ^^

And go with God, my friend.
