The Brass Ring Of Opportunity
by WESLY_SNYPES on Comments
Well it took all of 7 years to finally get something that I want and worthwhile from the Army....and all I had to do was go through two branches of service to do it. On July 27th I will get an honorable discharge from the active duty Army and join the National Guard. If you are not familiar with the Guard they have 100% tuition assistance to any college in your state. I also get a two year stabilization which means that I will not have to worry about being deployed anytime soon. This is all to set up my enrollment to Wake Tech for their two year degree program in Simulation and Game Developement that opened up a year ago. That's right, now I can finally get on track to a career and not just a job; and one that I actually like to do and have years of unofficial experience doing. I also reclass to information systems specialist to fall back on and soon will be on track to get picked up to make my sergeant rank which automatically puts me in most managerial positions I would apply for in the civilian sector. Hopefully, I will get an internship at, say, Epic Games which is in Cary and I live in Raleigh which is about a shade under an hour's drive from where I will live. Now that Microsoft Creator's Club is starting to look like I should buy it...
