I wasn't going to post anything, but seeing Jesse do so kind of changed my mind.

Yeah. I'm the last one left on the floor. Go figure, right? We always talked about how we wanted to get started on our careers and push to do what we wanted to do. I was so amazed that you'd already jumped to take the GRE. You had so many ambitions.

Well, it looks like things will really start changing now. Those of us who haven't already are making 1LT now. I keep thinking about how you'd be excited about this. You'd be promoted with us. With that happening, all of a sudden I'm being pushed to apply for courses and to go to C4. I signed up for it. Leilani already went. It even looks like I'll be deployed this fall. Cool, right? I remember saying I'd love to go on a deployment with you. It would've been fun. Things always managed to be fun and interesting when I worked with you. Even our rough days. I'm starting my packet for the ER course, too. I could just imagine you slapping my shoulder with excitement. Or, the usual roll of the eyes and the "thanks buddy" that followed any teasing. I'm sure you'd be doing enough teasing about me being left behind on MBU. You'd also let me vent, though, and I always appreciated that.

I miss the hell out of you. The floor has never been the same.

Oh, and Carroll is in Iraq now. Nicole is moving away. Keep an eye out for those two? I worry about them at times. I know, I probably don't even have to ask, but I was always the one that worried. Even if it was quietly.
