Yo~

So I've been kinda thinking that in light of the shit that just went down, maybe I'd sign up with the military. I've got a pretty sweet gig monster hunting, but it just doesn't feel like it has any meaning, you know? I've trained for this shit (the military) pretty much my whole life, so I figure they could use me. I’ve been here for like a year now and I kinda figure that if I was brought here for a reason, this is probably it.

I was just wondering if anyone else here has had much contact with these guys. What are your impressions? Have you signed up already? How's the pay, and do they seem decent to you? Any spectacularly hot babes I should know about?

That's it. That's the message. Thanks for your time.

I think the only one I know who does is Sephiroth.

But could be they make you go fight our own people at some point, Gids, or attack where they are, not sure that's what you want?

Making sure this is private etc. etc.

I'd be wary of anything that's so organized. If it doesn't work, I don't see how they'd let you go easily.

I am delighted to see that you keep a focus on what is truly important in times of unrest, Gideon.

[It may be hard to show through cursive text, but it isn't sarcastic.]

I think it is a very difficult question to answer in a broader sense. It sounds like you are looking for meaning, and I, personally, do not believe you can find it in an army. It is something you must find for yourself. Perhaps it will be a place to step off and begin that discovery. I'm not sure. I think you know, as well as the rest of us, that it is doubtless that the people of this world, who brought us here, brought us here to use us.

I'm sorry I feel I can't help more. Searching for meaning is one of the most intimate acts we can take. [Ask him how he knows! These are definitely detached suggestions and are certainly not from a man who has been deeply questioning his own place in the world.] I asked a dear friend once what I should do, should I lose my place -- and she told me that we are meant to find a purpose. A better one.

However, that's not entirely helpful when one is seeking a place to start.

At any rate, I do hope you find it. On the other hand, considering recent developments, I may be having to hire a personal bodyguard on future excursions, now I've a bit of a target on my back. You know. If you're interested.

Not that I'm necessarily advocating for you going all hoo-rah or anything, but

If you do

Controversial opinion: it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for us to have an inside man. See if we can get any intel they're not handing out to civilians.

Pay's fine, perks are decent, it's pretty standard all around. It's an army, so it's got about half stupid by volume, but that's not exactly a surprise. I'd call the discipline poor, but you know I'm an Alliance Marine; ground army's a different animal. All in all, I've seen a lot worse.

You thinking of joining up?
