So some of you guys know and some of you don't, but I'm going to be living and working in Africa specifically Zambia for the next few months from the 17th January. I've kinda put off posting about this for a while as I haven't been 100% that I was going to go.

This has been a dream of mine for many years, and I've had to get over some challenges to get to where I am today. As some of you know 2012 was a really tough for me with my grandfather getting hospitalised, and his slow but good recovery from a heart attack. I believe the time is right now, because I want to be able to make him proud of me for something.

Anyway, I wanted to make this post to thank you guys for being awesome in 2012, genuinely at certain points I don't know what Id of done without you guys seriously, (This even goes to the guys no longer in the unit), without the laughs, advice, fun and support you guys gave me I wouldn't of got through last year, and I would not have the courage to do what I'm doing. That said I'll definitely be back at some point in April.

If you wanna know anything about what i am doing in Zambia, just ask!

P.S Keep on being the best god damn realism unit in all of DODS.

P.S.S Keep hating on Rather till I get back, I mean look at him, he deserves it! :lol:

Bring condoms, soap, and an EpiPen. And look out for Kony because I hear that he is a bad dude.

Good luck and I hope you have a good time.

If you get attacked by a lion, my African friend Alex Ochuwanji told me you wait for it to come very close to you, then it will pounce and then you stab it in the neck.

Oh don't worry, I've become an expert at hating on Rather.

Great opportunity, life experience, work experience, adventure, all great things that'll come from going on this trip. I know I've been teasing you about leaving but honestly I wish you the best of luck and I hope you stay safe and out of trouble.

Good on ya. I know people who've lived in California their whole lives and never seen the beach, but you're going clear overseas! I know that star Dodgers' pitcher Clayton Kershaw and his wife started a program in Zambia, maybe you'll meet that beast of a southpaw!

Well, congratulations dude! You've mentioned this before, and its really cool that it has all come together for you.

3rd Platoon are going to be a very sorry bunch indeed for a few months.

Anyway, stay safe, and I'm sure you'll have an excellent time and meet a lot of excellent people!

      jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection. Yes   Application stats UserId: 943213736024498227 Username: jelly3384 User: @Rec. J. Buford Duration: 1131 seconds Joined guild at: a day ago
