AYO REBELS, after 30 months in the Rebel Penguin Federation I believe it is finally time to retire from this community as Second in Command. Honestly I don’t even know where to begin with this as there is so much to say LOL. I guess I can start with my famous quote I live by and it’s in my Troop of the Week speech…
“Livin life like a dream but I don’t get no rest” – Lil Uzi Vert
But in all seriousness though RPF has been a major part of my life for the last 2 and a half years. During RPF I have gone through major milestones in my life.
While in RPF I joined during my Junior year of High School and eventually I would graduate High School and now I’m currently in School studying Business and on track to graduate in 2 years plus go for a masters degree. I had 4 different jobs since being in RPF from working at Shoprite (Grocery Store chain), Marshalls, FootLocker, and now currently a manager at a shoe store. I passed my Driver’s Test and began driving too. I also met an amazing girl and got into my first relationship, but with that naturally I also had my first breakup 18 months later. There’s probably more I can’t think of right now, but overall as you can see I been through a lot since joining RPF!!
Alright enough about my IRL now it’s time to go into my RPF Journey from start to finish so lets get into that.
On the morning of May 5th 2020, during Online Gym (corona was a thing) I decided to play Club Penguin and ran into a bunch of Lorax looking fellas in the Town. A tactic was then said saying “Join the Rebel Lorax Federation” and I looked it up bringing me to the Rebel Penguin Federation website. From there I joined the Discord and immediately got overwhelmed by the amount of people in it, ngl I was very shy at the time.
I wasn’t the most active person in terms of chat activity, but I still attended events and stuff throughout my troop days. I would be an active troop from May to July and throughout this time, I got to experience my first tournament Legends Cup X which to this day is still one of my favorite events. I also got to experience my first Olympics which was Avatar themed, TEAM TERRA ROCKS! I met some nice people throughout this time as well including people like Makzing, YaBoiMac, z3ming, Cynify, and TheDillPickle who were nice to talk to in main chat. I met others as well like Miss Lanie, Miss Woogs, and Mars who were also nice to talk to as well during this time.
After July I kinda went inactive for 2 months and wouldn’t attend events or talk in main rarely as I became busy in the months of August and the start of senior year for me in September. Towards the end of September, I would do an 180 and become extremely active due to boredness in my online classes LOL. I met people like Spirit and Missy who became people I would talk to a lot since becoming active again. Due to my complete 180 I would get Troop of the Week that same week I became active and from here I wanted to become more active in RPF.
On October 5th I would be promoted to Officer Cadet alongside Sharki and would form an ELITE Cadet squad with Sharki, Link, YipYorp, Speedy, and Beetle. My Cadet days are still some of my favorite days from RPF as it was very fun getting to become more involved in RPF and meeting so many people within staff, shoutout to the infamous Bald Event hahaha….. From there I would be at Cadet for 2 weeks and was promoted to Brigadier General alongside Sharki once again. From there I would get Major General two weeks later alongside Link.
I would then be at Major General for 4 months due to me being a dumb Officer getting into a lot of trouble LOL….. but I was still motivated to keep being in RPF even with my mistakes. I think it was March 10th or something I would be promoted to Lieutenant General and the sigh of relief I got from that….. But yeah from there I would just chill as a mod throughout and would eventually get General July 5th 2021 iirc. From there I would be a moderator for one more month until I thought it was time for me to retire.
On August 20th, I retired for the first time from RPF at my rank of General. I had my Freshman year of college coming up and I wanted to focus on that for a bit and transition into that. During the months of my first retirement, I would still attend events here and there as well as popping into main chat from time to time. During this time, I started my freshman year of college, went out with friends, and enjoyed quality time with my girlfriend. Pretty much the normal life without having to do RPF duties.
I would contemplate rejoining in October 2021 and I think it was the 11th i would rejoin at General again. From there I would chill for a month before getting promoted to HCOM.
I got promoted to HCOM on November 18th I think and I would get to participate in even more behind the scenes stuff and got to lead events which was definitely my favorite task. I would chill at 3ic until I got promoted in the middle of March 2022 as a Second in Command. During 2ic I would do about the same nothing new, getting to lead events, running olympics, and such.
Now here I am today on November 5th retiring from my 30 months of service to the Rebel Penguin Federation. I thought of Rebel Commander of course and wanted to go for it since I’m like a rank away from it, but I think it’s time to wrap this part of life up and focus more on my IRL like school, work, social life, etc.
But yeahhhhh that’s my RPF journey from start to finish. I definitely forgot some stuff, but I think I got the general gist.
I guess a retirement post is incomplete without shouting out people who have been with me along the way so here’s what this section is!!! (In order of when I met you)
YaBoiMac, Makzing, Cynify 
The first people that I ever talked to in RPF. Thank you three for being there from Day One and help me become more comfortable in this large community. It was definitely nice to talk about our common interests as well especially in Rap and Hip Hop culture.
Sharki, Link, Beetle, YipYorp, Speedy, and Missy 
I think it’s safe to say my Cadet days of RPF are still to this day my favorite. It was fun getting introduced into RPF Staff alongside you 6 individuals. From the amount of messages we all had as a group, to when we had more messages than Officers did at some point, to the fun that we would have in Cadet Chat. I am glad I was able to start my RPF Journey as a staff member with you guys!
z3ming 
It’s strange to me how we met over the internet. I remember during the 2020 Summer Olympics, you gave me tips on Find Four and that’s how we first started talking. Since then like today, it is safe to call you my best friend from not just RPF, but also IRL as you are such a BASED person to talk to and rant to and also with giving me advice. It’s also been nice getting to hang out with you as well playing Minecraft or when we watched movies with the gang on FaceTime, as well as other shenanigans we have done/talked about. In general you are sucha BASED friend and I’m thankful for that!!!!!
sharki04 
The sharki04 herself, honestly this will be incomplete without putting you in this post. It is extremely safe to say that you were my best friend in not just RPF, but also IRL as we would talk everyday and spend lots of time together and also with the gang playing Minecraft or watching movies on Facetime. Glad I got to meet you during our Cadet Days and become friends from there based off of the shenanigans and common interests we shared. I still find it very odd that we met through RPF LOL. Thank you for always being there for me when it came to rants, advice giving, and just someone nice to talk to in general about RPF and personal stuff as well. Even though we don’t talk as much anymore, hope college and IRL has been treating you well.
mars 
One of the funniest people I have ever met in my life period LOL. You are sucha whole vibe and glad I got to meet you as well during my RPF journey. Glad we got to spend lots of time together too from watching movies to playing Minecraft with the gang. From the early days as mod to current times and all the shenanigans we got into LMAO…, it’s sucha based interaction every time we talk to each other with whatever is going on in our lives and I’m glad I get to call you a friend of mine in not just RPF but also IRL. Hope IRL and college has been treating you well too <3
Miss Woogs 
Miss Woogs, another whole ass vibe I have met in RPF. At first when I met you during my troop days you were always so welcoming to me and someone based to talk to as well. So based when you come into main chat nowadays and we get to talk about random stuff going on in our lives. Hope IRL has been treating you well too. Glad to be able to call you a friend!!!
moon 
I guess I will mention the biggest bozo of them all in this section… Glad I got to meet you as well in RPF as you have always been a very good friend to me throughout my RPF journey. From someone who I can go to for advice in RPF to someone I can just talk to about random stuff, thank you for always being there for me as well. I am all glad we got to play Minecraft and watch movies with the gang as well. Glad I get to call you a good friend of mine in not just RPF but also IRL wise as well. And I know you are wondering, yes we can still play all the Bedwars and Minecraft whenever!!! <3
Miss Maggie 
Miss Maggie, I am thankful we got to meet through RPF as well since you have been sucha nice and based friend to talk to since meeting you. It’s always a pleasure getting to talk to you whenever about not just RPF stuff, but also what’s going on in our IRL lives as well. Glad I’m able to call you a friend and hope IRL and college has been going well for you too!!!!! DOGJAM
Bubbles, Gabi, Lance, Miss Gianna, and EllaBella
The five mentees I got to mentor during my time in RPF. I’m so glad I was able to help you guys out during your RPF journey as I mentored Bubbles and Gabi as Cadets, and the other 3 as mods. Thank you all for the memories allowing me to mentor you guys and I’m excited to see how the rest of your RPF journeys go during your time in RPF <3
Sarah, Brenatto, and z3ming
Thank you 3 for being elite mentors to me during my time in RPF. From Sarah being my mentor in the beginning, to Bren being my mentor for the most of my mod days up until my retirement, and z3ming being my mentor post retirement and reaching 3ic. Thank you 3 for mentoring me and helping me navigate my duties as Officer in RPF.

There’s so many people, if I forgot to shout you out I’m sorry
But yeah that’s pretty much it with my journey of RPF, from the memories I made to the many BASED people I got to meet in this community, I am thankful I was able to be apart of this for the last 30 months of my life. I loved every moment of being here and can’t wait to see where things go in the future. For now it’s time for me to sit on the sidelines once again for the second time <3
During my retirement time I will continue to well pretty much do normal IRL things LOL, like go to my classes and work towards my degree, work and potentially get an internship, spend time with friends and family, hit the gym and workout, play basketball, and doing other hobbies and interests as well.
I think that’s it for this post, until next time this has been Yvng Baller and for the last time signing off!!
