Leave of Absence


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi everyone! 

A quick TLDR: I am going to be gone from Today (05-10-2024) to sometime late August or early September for Officer Candidate School with the United States Navy. I leave in two weeks, but will be spending this time with my wife and family. My discord is open to DMs up until the 24th of May, but I will not be engaging in any Aurora-activities until I am back. 

With that said, I want to clarify that I have no intention of retiring, or stepping down from any position that I hold. I'm not sure if my mapping trial is going to be paused or passed, but I will just reapply when I'm back if I have to. I am simply taking an extended leave of absence, due to my commitments with the military. I will not have access to any electronics up until late July, and even then I will not be spending time on Aurora because I do not Commission until August/September. 

I want to say thank you for everyone who's supported me over the years, I appreciate everything that all of you have done for me, and thank you for trusting me to be an administrator for this amazing community. I have spent a lot of time here (I literally spent 10 - 14 hours a day during my mod trial...) In fact, I've been part of this community since I was 14 years old. I joined here as I was entering high-school, and now I am graduating University on Saturday. I have gone through many major life events while being part of this community. I graduated high-school, I entered college, I bought my first car, house, and I got married.. I'm very blessed and thankful to have been able to share my experiences with most of you over this silly 2d spaceman game. 

A lot of you who've been here for a while have heard me rave on and on about the military and how much of a dream it is of mine to pursue a leadership position. I'm beyond grateful for the experiences I have gained from this community, and thank you for the many of you who have shown me so much support in this endeavor. 
I'll see all of you soon enough. Wish me luck!

Best of luck, Read! Try not to get lost in the woods! (Do Navy officer candidates even do landnav on the ground? Do you instead do seanav on the waves? How does that work???)
