To my glorious band of war criminals — EP4S1,
It’s time for me to log off for a while. I’ll be heading to America for the summer. I’ve spent 4 amazing, chaotic, bullet-riddled years with you guys, and leaving now honestly feels like deserting a brotherhood — except if that brotherhood involved friendly fire, 120mm tank shells, questionable jokes, and California Girls as our war anthem. And of course, I can’t forget the legendary Bulgaria meet-up — easily one of the best real-life moments I’ve had, and proof that this community is more than pixels and tactics. We actually made memories that’ll stick for life.
We may be scattered across countries and time zones, but this squad was something else. Every drill was pure madness, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I’ll miss the comms chaos, the banter, the running jokes, the deaths (especially yours, Sadawi), and all the stupid brilliance that made our squad S1 best one. Keep the spirit alive while I’m gone — and for the love of all that is holy, play California Girls every time Sadawi dies. It’s what I would’ve wanted.
Until we meet again — in-game or in real life — this is your AR,
PFC Ivanov, signing off.
“S1 best one.”
For the short time I’ve known you. All I can say is, you’re my guy. And it feels like I’ve known you for ever.
Come back anytime, there will always be a place for you in S1.
