You can have peace.
Or you can have freedom.
Don't ever count on having both at once.
***********************************
The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours
All of you starting tomorrow have a great time, the best of your lives. Take care of each other and you will get the best reward, a green hat.
Good luck lads.
You should talk to somebody who gives a f**k.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Royal Marine, my son!

For the guys going tomorrow, you have a head start on the other guys, you know what bonds us bootnecks together, and hopefully, it`ll help bond you together, but remember one thing..............NO tongues in the showers best of luck to all of you, stay lucky, and don`t forget where we are, we need regular sitreps, now, crack on, or you`ll be giving us 50.
Good luck men, just remember that there isn't anything another man has done that you can't do. Stick close when you can and keep eachother in the game. You'll make it, I have no doubt in my mind.
