Popular Post Shankster Posted June 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2019 4 days fellas. 4 long brutal days until I leave the UP. Like I’ve said it had been a rollercoaster of fun, pain, emotions, joy, fear, anger, and every other way of describing things. I came here 4.5 years ago amped up and ready to go, I managed to maintain my enthusiasm, stay myself, and be a hard charger for the entire time. I am off to do the same thing again at a new place, going in the door with the same amount of energy that I came here with. It’s bittersweet leaving here, I hate winters, but summers are absolutely amazing. Watched my children grow, going to a 4 room schoolhouse with 30 people total was awesome, we’ll never get that anywhere else. But this awaits, and I couldn’t be more excited. Far better than....

tony@CIC Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Safe journey to your new Duty Station. May it be everything you wished for you and your family! FYI, I don't think you'll miss that one week of summer in the UP.

StrokerAce Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 As some famous commencement speech that may or may not have been real starts.... Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now. I can only imagine how white your skin is from being stuck in the hinterlands.... good luck with the move and enjoy the new digs!

Shankster Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Safe travels and thanks for your service!Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpyThanks Rev. Looking forward to the new adventure. We will be planning a trip to Disney next spring, so I’ll be in touch with all of the Florida spies to try and sneak a round in.Was planning on playing with Golfspy_Stroker, JLukes, but we wanted to change our plans slightly after buying the house to get there and enjoy a few weeks before heading back to work. Close enough to NJ that I’ll be in touch sometime during my tour with JLukes to play, and we are planning a trip to Boston/Salem in October. So hopefully we can get those rounds in.Side note.... this has been the absolute longest week of my tour. Can’t believe it isn’t Friday yet.
