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.
