Salutations
March 18, 2013 at 9:13 pm
I decided that because all of the threads started with, "Hello..." I would go against the norm.
My name is Meredith and I'm *gasp* new. I've stalked AF for sometime now, but have just recently worked up the courage to join.
Anyway, hi~!

Welcome aboard.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Thanks.
Anything I should know before I delve into the depths of the forum?

Anyway, hi~!

Normally I would give one of two of my standard responses to a newbie.


1. "Be sure to barbecue kittens, record the NFL without their permission, and rip the tags of your mattress"

Or

2. To quote Obe Wan from the original Star Wars "You will never find a more retched hive of scum and villainy"

But since you said "worked up the courage to join" I am curious as to what you meant?

I guess I really don't know. As I've read and looked over threads on AF, I've realized just how eloquent and well spoken many of the members are and I felt a little inept.
One of my biggest fears is sounding like an idiot and even though it may just be on an internet forum, I still don't want to look like the Elementary student in a college lecture hall.

Salutations? You don't happen to play Guild Wars 2, do you? Big Grin

Welcome to AF!
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I didn't think we were that fierce.
