"Sudden realization that next Thursday would be our ORD parade - the moment we've been waiting for when we enlisted 2 years ago. But now that we are soooo close to the day, there's this tinge of sadness in the back of my mind knowing that it is probably the last time when everyone can get together..."

 We dreamt of it. We could only imagine. We could only wonder. Now that its here, guys its more awesome and kickass that I'd ever imagine it to be. *excited* ORD

"NS has been a roller-coaster ride - full of ups and downs, and more downs than not. But at the end of the day, it was quite the experience and when we look back I think we can be proud of all our accomplishments."

To the best det of 1CDOBN WY 11/12:
"We are men chosen to be the eyes of the battalion and we will answer the call of duty."
