It's been just over a year now since I was given command of what I believe to be the best squad we have here. The group I was apart of took me on some of the highest ups my five years have seen, and it's kinda funny but also some of the lowest points in my five years here.
I've seen everyone who was apart of that rise to a level they previously thought they were incapable of reaching. They showed me they could improve, and helped me improve myself in so many ways. For that I thank each and every one of them.
However, before anyone starts going off I will say one simple thing. I am not leaving the VE, I am simply putting Joa on the back burner for awhile. Ever since the HSC ended I was nearly burned out with everything, after the QW my activity dropped in hopes I could recuperate and come back strong. I've pretty much known for a week now that was not going to happen in the time frame the squad deserved.
You all deserve a strong leader, keeping the insanity in check takes someone who is a little insane themselves. It also requires someone who has more mental strength than I do right now. My reserves are simply too low to be an effective leader.
Some of you know I reactivated my navy character for the first time in over a year. I think my subconscious knew this decision was coming, and so used it as a way to keep me here instead of vanishing again. The Navy has for a long time been the bad child of the Empire, I know during the next few months she will need all the help she can get. For now, I believe my time can be better spent there.
RAIDERS, you are and have always been my home. I will return in time, if you'll have me.
Jaenna, I know you know this but I'll say it again. Keep the reigns loose, and let them take you on a journey you will never forget.
