Well as of April 02, 2005 I dive into the matrimonial jungle again. Nice lady, plays paintball, right leaning as myself, and I again take on the role of step-father to two, my own, the last out of the 5 who I raised alone over the years, is off to collage soon.

Full Scottish Regimental Wedding, Pipers, Kilts, Swords a combination of Military and Traditional Scottish, anyone interested or in the area of Lincoln, NE April 2nd, 2005 are invited.....PM for furhter info.......

As a promise of sacrifice last evening we both sat and decided to give up the time consuming internet forums, chats, and overall surfing, in order to spend more time as a family. We will still have internet but limited, and e-mails, the rest of my time will be refurbishing the house, saving for the "Harley" (one of her concessions), and playing paintball as a family. Those who were at Realms of Ruin last year remmember "Momma" and "OS Light".

Also as a promise I will be coming off the road soon as I can find a job here at home.....no cubicles, or offices by preference, but I got to do what I got to do for family.........................

So as of Friday April 1, my last day of freedom, I am off to a new life....

For all those who read my posts remmember one thing, I have seen war, and no-one here should ever think that I advocated going off to war for any reason. Being a soldier was my chosen proffesion, and I as well as my families(three failed marriages) suffered because of it. I have views that differ from many here, but on the fields that I play my expierience, guides and have improved many a player, that is something I still enjoy, teaching..........

I made a promise to momma.........

BTW the book is in final draft form, and at publisher, will know soon what modifacations are needed for publishing and we will see what happens.....

Skysoldier6 November.............OUT.

OS, I think I speak on behalf of all the members here when I wish you the best of luck with your new life. May the perverbial road be kind to you.

You'll be missed around here, thats for certain, but one can hardly blame you for wanting to take the time and better use it with your new family.

I still look forward to the day that I get to trade paint with you, but until that day, Good luck, and farewell.

It's been good having you here, and I'm glad I got to share at least one field with you. Your advice was invaluable here. Best of luck.
