Whats up 1st MRB, just wanted to say thanks for all the help from the many members of the Unit in my enlistment.
The more i learn about the Unit the cooler it gets, and I'm glad i finally got off my ass and enlisted.
I would post this someplace else, but it still says "what the fuck are you doing Recruit", a saying that i have grown fond of hearing
Just a bit about myself: im 24 and live in maryland, im a barback at Blackfinn in Bethesda, and just started going back to school, speaking of which, i may seem awol for a few weeks, but i will definitely find time to check in.
New to ventrillo and the forums, so it may take me a while to get into the groove, but you guys have been patient with me so far, and i appreciate that a lot.
My last name is pronounced (ou-CHAR), but everyone in high school, and NJROTC called me (YOU-car)(EW-car), so its not a big deal, I've had more 1st members try and pronounce my name right than anyone i went to high school with, which i think is cool as shit.
First name is Aykut (aye-KOOT) (Aye Koot You Car) get it? lol. no but forreal that's my name its Turkish, born American, raised in Ohio, thus i have trouble understanding sarcasm, lol, but am not easily offended at all, try to put out positive vibes. That being said, if i ever do offend you in any way, or are telling too many people on the pub server that I'm going to shit in their caskets, don't be afraid to get real with me, cause i don't always get a joke, but i always get an order.
I quit playing dod for a long time, and just started playing 8 months ago, but have been playing it since beta. I have grown comfortable (at times too comfortable) with the 1st so my transition from civilian to private has been shaky at times, but i am proud to be apart of something bigger (way bigger) than myself.
The best thing about the Unit is the word of the Unit, and those who speak it. It was the deciding factor of my Enlistment. Respect is deeply rooted in my upbringing, and and i try to honor that upbringing and take pride in my work. Discipline is still a working progress.
By the way, sorry for the triple tk/suicide nade where three members of the 1st Marine Raiders lost their lives. (primed rifle nade, lost control, tried to minimize damage but... i choked and diddn't even call 'dead nade') My condolences to their Families and Friends. Although i do miss 1/6 rifle grenades, that wont happen again anytime soon, scouts honor.
With that said, i look forward to getting to know everyone better, getting better at DoD:S, and having good times.
