Today is a tragic day, the unit I play with is shutting down. Luckily it isn't anything dramatic or hard feelings, it's just the classic that the leaders don't have the time required. We will have our last operation this Sunday.

I have only been a part of the unit for about eight months, so it isn't a life changing event. And to be honest, I was getting tired of the american kit. You can't ignore that M4s and M249s are super generic, and playing as a british unit back in the A3 days didn't feel as stale even after multiple years.

I'll miss the boys, especially Spoon, Soup, Öhr, Loustone and Doc (you guys know who you are). But my experience with previous units is that it's rarely worth trying sticking together, the only examples where that has worked is when leadership collapses (megalomania and such), and the entire unit splinters unanimously. Otherwise you'll just end up as a floundering group of more-or-less burnt out players.

I'll look for new pastures, even if they might not be greener necessarily. I'm going to attempt to find a unit that speaks my mother tounge aswell (makes it hard to rope in the boys aswell).

So long, loyal and steadfast.
