So.
I've joined the US Army. Big shocker I know, but there are reasons. Honest.
I was worried about telling you guys because I was worried about what you all would think about my decision. There are a lot of benefits (and naturally a number of unpleasant realities) and I did think a long hard time about the decision. I figured that if I presented it as a fait accompli you guys couldn't get too mad. Am I being too defensive?
Anyway, we can have a dialogue about the whole thing in the comments section. I'll try to keep abreast of any questions you may have and check in on a regular basis.
