Long time, no see.

[SSG (Ret) Beard]

Hello to all. Nearly 12 months since you all saw my ugly head. Finally, I can afflict you with my presence again. Fortunately, the rumors of my demise were greatly exaggerated.

I have been in a lengthy legal battle. Long story short, my ex used allegations about me in regards to her daughter to attempt to terminate the relationship and avoid fair division of property and also to negate any ability for myself to have contact with my son.

She also was after the $75,000 automatic compensation pay out that is currently in place for victims of sexual abuse.

Today at approximately 1600hrs Western Australian time, a panel of 12 jurors unanimously found me not guilty of all 10 charges that were leveled against me after a 4 day trial.

Thank you to all who have supported me through this troubled time.

Unfortunately, I cannot rejoin the ranks just yet. The bitch still has my computer. As soon as I have a new, kick ass pc built I will be 40 miking the shit out of every virtual battlefield that I can.

Some of you that read this will not know me at all. That is good. I'm an asshole.
For those that are new here, do not underestimate what you can take into real life from this community. It is a very deep well of life experience to be drawn from. The leadership skills that you have the opportunity to learn here have the ability to change your life if you take the time to apply them to the real world.

The friends you make here will last longer than you can ever expect.

If you take the time to listen and think, your time here in a virtual world can and will improve you as a person in the real world.

Thank you to all those that created and continue to keep the 506th IRRU alive.
Currahee!!!!

Hey Sergeant Beard, long time no see. Good to see you won! thats some serious allegeations.

No chance to get your PC back?

[SSG Salvatore]

It's great to see you're still kicking shit Beard! And that justice has served.
Time flies, felt like yesterday that you left, waiting for your return.

[CW2 (Ret) O'Neill]

Hurry up, cunt!

[CPT Hammersmain]

Holy shit look who it is.... the person who took S-2 to a whole new level.

It's also the SOB who took the wheels off an active enemy BTR mid combat (he got in trouble for that one, so don't do it). 

Glad to hear you were victorious.  I expected nothing less.  Hope to catch you online one of these days.  With my reserve transfer I don't make it on as much as I used to, but more than you'd think.  See you around, Beard.

Great to see you around mate and glad to hear you came out on the right side of things. Looking forward to Arma-ing again soon.

That is a genius thing to do... dangerous, but genius nonetheless.
Also, I don't know you Beard, but glad to hear that justice still exists in this world.

That's great news, awesome

Damn, can’t wait to see you back here!

Although my heritage is mostly Irish, I don't like potatoes enough to play ARMA on that pile of shit again. I have an excuse to buy a monster PC and I have no woman to oppose me. It is time for SSG to buy something shiny and new...

As for the allegations, each one carried a maximum sentence of 14 years.

10 charges.

It was pretty fucking scary for a while there.

I start by milking the shit out of your spelling, Specialist.

Unfuck that shit right now.

Captain?

Congratulations, Sir.

When I get a spare 5 minutes I will set up TS on this pile of shit laptop and catch up with everyone.

You had to mention the bloody BTR.... And the 13th... Good times. Better ones to come...

Who the fuck made you a SSG? Doesn't matter. I am Australian and therefore outrank you.

What the fuck does <3 mean??? You trying to approach me in a white van and offer free icecream? For fuck's sake Eluri.

Congrats on getting a squad, brother. I guarantee you are kicking arse (whilst also pissing off the COC. Especially during debreifs).

Can't wait to catch up.
