	[tilts his head] I believe the average age for humans joining the academy is eighteen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, exactly. Four years late. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	out_ofthe_chair 2010-01-01 04:00 am UTC (link)
	Then in summation, you did join late. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	in_the_chair 2010-01-01 04:09 am UTC (link)
	That's what I thought. ... why'd you join at twenty? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	out_ofthe_chair 2010-01-01 04:15 am UTC (link)
	[cocks his head to the side] While the average age for humans joining the Academy is eighteen, other races, especially those that are not located on Earth, do not necessarily have the same average age. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	in_the_chair 2010-01-01 04:34 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, but you're about the same age as me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	out_ofthe_chair 2010-01-01 04:36 am UTC (link)
	One year older. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	in_the_chair 2010-01-01 04:39 am UTC (link)
	... yeah, you just said that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am uncertain at what you are trying to ask. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	in_the_chair 2010-01-01 04:43 am UTC (link)
	I'm curious, Spock. Hell, I don't remember why I joined up myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have related to you the memory I received of my being accepted into the Vulcan Science Academy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	in_the_chair 2010-01-01 04:54 am UTC (link)
	... oh. Yeah. Shit, you did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[shrug] I was cultivating multiple options for possible career paths. Starfleet was one such path. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	in_the_chair 2010-01-01 05:19 am UTC (link)
	The other being the Science Academy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	out_ofthe_chair 2010-01-01 05:21 am UTC (link)
	Yes, though the Science Academy was the first option. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	in_the_chair 2010-01-01 05:24 am UTC (link)
	And you turned 'em down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	out_ofthe_chair 2010-01-01 05:26 am UTC (link)
	Yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	in_the_chair 2010-01-01 05:28 am UTC (link)
	Damn. I'm kinda jealous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	out_ofthe_chair 2010-01-01 05:32 am UTC (link)
	Why is that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	in_the_chair 2010-01-01 05:34 am UTC (link)
	You had options. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	out_ofthe_chair 2010-01-01 05:37 am UTC (link)
	There are always options, Jim. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	in_the_chair 2010-01-01 05:37 am UTC (link)
	And sometimes they all suck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	out_ofthe_chair 2010-01-01 05:41 am UTC (link)
	Starfleet was also an option for you, one you might not have chosen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
