Dear SAS and friends,
Today was my first day in college. I study music at a conservatory. And a simple, solid fact slammed me in the face: the absence of study that I enjoyed my whole highschool career has inversed itself. As you may have noticed my activity went down in the summer months, and this was due to a preparation for entry exams. Turns out that's just where it begins.
I'm battered just by trying to put my schedule together and talking French. Yes, French is tiring. I have mountains of study lying there, needing to be toppled over, rolled a block and put upright.
I won't have any time to do anything serious in SAS, so rather then clinging to my fancy SSM tags, I will do what I have always been a vocal proponent of, and resign when my time has come.
I have had a great time in SAS. It has provided me with a stable gaming community which was always there and it even tought me some things about managing a small group of people. I'm proud to have been an active element in the establishment of our SWAT department (sometimes taking more credit then I ought to, I admit now), which I'm happy to see flourishing now.
But to all good times come and end, and this is it.
Thank you, everyone.
(And I hope I get my Vet tags)
Very sad to hear this news Rasa ... very sad.
You have be a supreme and splendid member of SAS that has commited so much time and work and has built something upon the ordinary, that will prevail, and I'm sure of that, for many many years. You have boosted and built the S4 wing, so that it now stands strong and taller than ever.
This is why it is sad to lose you, but it is sorrowful to lose the comrade.
The comrade that has taught me so much, that has been one of the wise and awesome mentors I had, the mate that has shared my vision, backed me up and corrected my mistakes, the buddy who has created many wonderful and pleasent moments and gaming experiences, the friend, who could blow away every depressions and cheer us up as nobody could.
I think I speak for all of us when I say: This is a sad day for SAS and we will a miss you.
Nevertheless ... you do what you have to do ... and although saying goodbye is never easy ... I wish you only the best on your path. Good luck.
Cheers.
\"Virtue is its own reward.\"
I'll always cherish my time as a Recruit. Because I had two very fine fellows with me to train along side. SAS_Rct_Rasa and SAS_Rct_Leon (in chronological order).
We have not always seen eye to eye on training but I'd like to think we've always made a good team.
It's in a big way because of you that our SWAT4 Department has become such a mature and fine part of this clan. You put your back into it and helped it along in the early stages. Helped bring it from a crawl to a run. And helped bring up many of those who have helped you in doing so. Just like those who have stood with you, I stand proud to have been apart of the same team as you Rasa, this Mighty [SAS] Elite Virtual Regiment.
Because of you, many elements of training will live in the minds of those who continue the journey and the SOP's have benefited greatly from your participation, much better then I had first thought they would grow.
I hope your grades in college are like your room clearing training. If they are, well Belgium is a lucky country ^_^.
It has been an honour to game and train with you my friend, fellow virtual Sergeant Major, and [SAS] Member. But if you don't drop in for an occasional visit we'll have to bribe Foxes Unit to track you down and bring you home for a few beers
(PS: I hope you get those Vet tags and a Medal for service
)
verry sad to hear this news verry sad indeed,
i will never forget the great trainings i had from you and the fun you made of me when we tried that RRCC where i forgot to shoot a sus

Shame to see you go, I know you were loved round here.
I wish you all the best for the Future.

SAS_Rct_Lake salutes you............here here!
You can close your eyes for things you don't want to see, but you can't close your heart for things you don't want to feel
Rasa it is definitely sad to see you go, but not totally surprising, I know this sort of thing happens to a lot of our great SAS Members...with school and work and other things in our real lives that take away from the virtual SAS we all love to be apart of....Your experience and knowledge will be greatly missed by us all, and Im happy I was able to train and learn new things under you during my Rct and Trp days ... and especially the classic Rasa KillHouse lol you should stop by time to time to make sure everyones on top of things
And best of luck with your studies and I hope all goes well for you in your life Rasa, and hopefully we can still see you around occasionally on the servers mate

Rasa, you are one of the man who motivated me greatly in my SAS duties. you were always there to set the bar high, to find new tactics and refine and adapt out dated ones.
You brought the SWAT4 Dept to life and your help was vital! You gave me that eternal blazing flame of training passion!
I wish you luck in real lfie Rasa, I have a high respect for you my friend and I'll miss you.
Goodbye Sir!

Sad to see you leave, Rasa. But it's understandable, because studying in college + being a member of this clan is basicly not a good combination.
Good luck in college, and see you in the future maybe.
Although I don't know you that long, Rasa - you surely will be a loss in the EVR.
I wish you success in achieving your goals and good luck
This isn't the official SAS-hymn (yet
)...
...but I give you this song for your long road to travel to remember the
BROTHERHOOD of SAS:

Sad to see you go Rasa; we've had our differences, but I always learned something new from you in the end. Hopefully we'll see you from time to time. Good luck in college and I wish you the best
Truly bad news Rasa. :cry: But as always, your succession in real life always comes first.
We`ve had some great games buddy, and you have brought great wisdom to this clan. Both as rough drill instructor SAS_Leopold and sweet and tender SAS_Sara
I truly feel sad everytime I see a member leave, and especially those members that has been with me from my beginning in this clan, like you Rasa.
Come back to visit us sometimes rasa, and let us know how its going.
And Good luck with your music studies. Ive heard you play over TS hehe, and I know that you will become a great musician.
Goodbye buddy.
Very Sad Rasa ....But your real life comes first in any situation on this game.
The instruction you gave me about minimum penetration i thank you for and the training during my Rct days.
Good Luck with studying at the conservatory i hear it is a very good school so study hard.

Thankyou Rasa..
From my point of view..for being the KEY FACTOR in the amount of SWAT members that we see here today. Your work in that field has been extensive and tireless, and on behalf of the Governing body we thank you.
Also..thankyou, for changing your voice..i saw glass break, once when you were on TS
Also..Thankyou for sticking around and proving that the uder-age authoristaion system works.
However, its not all good.
I DO NOT thank you for those horrid, nightmare inducing photos that you posted in the gallery
Enjoy the music..heh i would appreciate a few tips on Cubase, when you get the time. BTW i found a new trick..might interest you with that one.
If you sacrifice SAS...make sure u pass your course, or there's gonna be some broken windows with ropes dangling through them.
Lt_Col WIZ, VC, MiD (Ret)
good luck in the future rasa.
Now you can be a virtuso at something other than the MP5SD. Best of luck at school. We're always here when you want to tune-up a few tangos!!
I don't think the Vet tags will be much of a hurdle.
Salute.

The clan will miss you. Please pop on the servers from time to time.
Its been a pleasure to knowing you.

I dont know what to say....This is a sad day for the regiment. I have learned so much from you Rasa.
I wish you the best of luck in college, hope to see you around.

Its a shame to see you go, but the cirumstances are indeed understandable and worthy.
I remember back to when you were first applying, now our little Rasa is going off to college, my how time flies...
I wish you the best in schooling Rasa.... and remember, during the holidays..... there will still be plenty of Tangos to drop.
One last word of advice..... don't show anyone at college those pictures of you and your dad dressed as women.... some things need to remain secrets

Your commitment to the training and future of this clan has been an inspiration to me, your drive is something that will not be replaced easily.
I will take this opportunity to wish you the very best wherever your life should take you. It was a privilege to have served under your leadership [SAS]_Rasa.
