Starting My Life
« on: April 29, 2011, 10:51:28 PM »
Hey PD'ers just wanted to let you all know that I'll be leaving on May 3rd to enter into active duty in the United States Air Force. I'm finally entering the next stage in my life. I wanted to thank everyone in this community who kept the Descent series alive after all these years. The game and the communtity will always remain close to my heart. I had the chance to meet some cool people and talk about a game I've played since I was 4 years old. Anyways hopefully I'll be back by September and remember, go Suns!

YES! GO AIR FORCE!

I was thinking about it myself. I'm actually thinking about the Air National Guard now.

The Navy was interested in recruiting me for awhile, after I graduated from high school, but I turned them down. I really don't think I'm personally cut out for a life in the military.

Initiate super off topicness:

Don't do Navy unless you want to be stuck seeing the sea for miles and miles around for months. It all looks the same. There's nothing different between that patch of water from the next patch now and a few days from now.
Fighter pilot for the Navy would be the best thing possible, but it is highly risky doing the landings that they do. It would be fun on a carrier to watch everyone back away from you just like that time when one of our carriers decided to go through the Sea of China. EVERYONE gave it a HUGE berth! One carrier has the "this is now mine" range the size of California.


WillyP, do you mind answering questions in a PM if I ever need to ask you something about the Air National Guard?

Best of luck to you, Planet Orange Citizen! Thank you for your willingness to serve the United States.  My prayers are with you.  ;)

I, for one, hope this is much, much more than a reconnaissance mission.

Hey everyone I've made it back alive. The past 5 and half months and being in the Air Force have definitely been a life changing expericence for me. I spent 2 months at BMT and then 3 months at tech school. I'll be going to my first duty base in October... Man I thought for sure Descent for Wii would be out by now :(
