Your onboarding is efficient, I’ll give you that. Government red tape at home would’ve had me sitting in a waiting room and filling out forms for at least three days. And the apartment is, well. No offense, but it’s kind of ridiculous. I’ve spent months on entire spaceships smaller than that apartment. ~~Your budget probably needs a massive overhau~~

Anyway. Uh ~~I’ve never been very good at social media~~ Thank you. For explaining the situation and telling me where to find Tennal Halkana. A few more days and he’d probably have charmed his way to the head of a gang or been exiled into the woods and tracking him down would’ve been a lot harder. I’m better at catching farm animals than people.

Oh. My name’s is Surit. So. Yeah. Hello.

	Sort of? But we have older kids in too. We run different classes and programs for different age groups, do mentoring and homework help, have lots of fun games and stuff for them to play with their friends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nice. How did you go from pilot to youth center? Sorry about all the questions. I'd just left the military and I'm still trying to remember how to be a civilian again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I kind of always liked the idea of working with kids, but being a pilot was always the focus. Don't really have that option now so thought I'd check out the other option.

It took me a while to get to this though - my current job, had a few random things before this, took some time to figure things out. The whole remembering how to be a civilian thing you mentioned? It takes some time so don't feel bad if you don't immediately make the transition.

	Thanks. I'm not in any rush. Well, outside of being a bit of a control freak who needs things organized. I'm trying to be better about that though. It's nice that you've had the option to explore other interests here. Do they conscript for Defense? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gives everyone a chance to explore different things really. Which is kind of cool. No, strictly volunteer only. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay. Good. I'm more than willing to help defend people but I'm not interested in being anyone's standing military anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think anyone here is interested in making anyone be that. There's a good chunk of us that come from various military type groups back home, or from fighting wars. A lot of us don't mind doing the defense thing, but none of us would expect it from anyone. If you want to spend your time here avoiding it all then that's entirely your call.

	Thanks for the info. Sorry if I sounded rude. I just haven't had the best experience with the military lately. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's fine. You weren't being rude, you had some pretty valid questions there, man and I don't think anyone here would think you an ass for questioning that kind of stuff. (Reply to this) (Parent)
