So for those who don't know me, my first account was DadoMahho, I joined ROBLOX April 4, 2008. I forumed in S&I and RT primarily up to the day I was deleted, October 21, 2011. I made a place which contained more player badges than any other place on ROBLOX, it obtained 100k visits before my deletion, and apparently after my deletion I scammed 14k people into coming into the place without trying.
The potential of ROBLOX Studio is compelling and continually growing, so I don't plan on completely quitting anytime soon even though it's been 6 years.
--
I enlisted in the US Army May 9, 2014, and I ship to basic training next year, June 22nd. --3 weeks after I graduate high school
I decided to enlist in the military for a multitude of reasons(in no particular order):
1. The Benefits - I get paid - I learn new skills(life experience) - free online courses - I get to travel(likely to other countries, which is exciting for me because I've never left the US) - I'm not paying for my living or food for the entire time I'm there(all my money goes to the bank)
2. It's simply what I feel like doing - I can currently afford to go to college after high school, but why bother when I can get the same degrees for free in my spare time while in the Army - I feel like I'll grow as a person from it.(I need a bit of structure in my life) - I want to serve my country - I want to experience being in the military so I can understand it
3. It's my path - Almost everyone I know who is going to college isn't completely sure what they want to do(I'm not either) - Nobody convinced me to enlist in the military, I researched it because I was curious one day, and then decided it was what I wanted to do. - I have a bit of a need to be different, a bit of a need to be defiant, and almost everyone I know is saying college is the only option. That's not cool with me.
Everyone I care about has so far been amazingly supportive of me. c:

Now some of you might figure, "Heh, he's in the army, I guess he's quitting ROBLOX when he graduates."
lolno
After I finish my training, I plan to continue to forum and possibly develop games in my spare time.(Maybe something inspired by another state or country I visit)
--
I plan on getting in a degree in Computer Science, so who knows, maybe afterwards I'll work for ROBLOX.
Unless of course I make the Army a full time career, which means I would serve for 20 years and then retire at like 38, and get a different job.
Other plans after I am done in the Army involve going to an art school, traveling to many many places, buying a house, and getting a job that likely is related to Computer Science, but I'm not limiting myself to that, I'll do whatever I like.
--
I hope anyone who read this post enjoyed it, I'm not meaning to persuade anyone to enlist, but know there's a lot of options, more than most people tell you about. Everyone is different, do what you love.
Thank you, and see you in like 5 minutes when I'm making a thread containing absolute nonsense as normal.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

If I were you, I'd wait to finish college then enlist.
That way, you start out as a Lt.
But hey, that's up to you.

I'm a hardcore military person, my grandpa was a Green Beret, and my dad was a Ranger. You idiots all think he's going into combat.
Half the time people who enlist now a days don't go into combat. |
