<div>Bros,</div>
<div>As some of you guys know, I'm leaving Ohio University soon. I withdrew from all of my classes earlier today and signed my paperwork with the army last week. Sometime within the next week my dad's going to come pick me up and take me back to Toledo. After
that, probably around mid March, I leave for basic training, then I'm off to an active duty unit. My contract is for a minimum of 4 years of service. I'm actually pretty excited and relieved that I'm going, but I'm sad as hell to leave this school. The last
few quarters here have been the best times off my life by far. Most of the memories I have involve the awesome people, opportunities, events, and service that I got to be involved in with you all. Alpha Phi Omega has shown me so much more about myself then
I could have ever imagined. Many of you have touched my heart and will never be forgotten. I cherish everyone moment I have ever had with my bros and I wiil miss you all dearly.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When I get to my basic training unit, I will send my address to Laura so that I can write to you all whenever I get a chance. Afer that, we''ll se where the army takes me. Hopefully it'll be close by. I'll make my best effort to come back and visit whenever
I'm on leave. If any of you want to get a hold of me, my email is <a href="mailto:ap924507@ohio.edu">
ap924507@ohio.edu</a>, and my phone number is 419.410.5050. I will miss you all so much and I will never forget you.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Yours truly,</div>
<div>Austin Pounds</div>

<div>P.S. One thing I'm really upset I'm missing this year is the Chippendales and the calender. I guess it's up to Eric and Lowell now. HAHA!</div>
