Some of you may have been aware that I was deployed very recently, specifically in a very hot place with lots of sand and sun, for many months. That was my 'twilight tour', though I didn't tell anyone that. I have as of today separated honorably from the USMC and have successfully transitioned from being a service-member to now veteran status. Technically disabled veteran (mostly hearing, joint, back, etc...) not wounded or anything just worn down and banged up from working around and flying inside such a large variety of aircraft as I have, as well as my job requiring me to drag boxes of equipment up and down small mountains and then running thousands of feet in full kit. Part of my job was to set up air-strips and landing zones in 'austere' environments. We did it in special 6-man teams. It was like being a member of a special forces team without actually ever needing to go anywhere particularly dangerous. Best times of my life (so far).

But those times are over, and I'm transitioning to the civilian workforce. This means that I have a TON of options right now.

My short term goal is to finish my college... but I'm going to need to get a job one way or the other. I'll likely pick up something part time unless I find work in an airport (am a highly qualified electronics technician among other things).

However, what I would like to do is to write stories full time here, if possible. I'll definitely have a LOT more free time for at least a little while as I work to get things going on the school / job front, but when I do start up working again (soon, but not too soon) I will once again have less free time to work on stuff here.

Over the next month or so I'm going to be focusing primarily on doing all the things I've been wanting to get around to doing with regards to this site, my own website, patreon, and generally writing more stories (and continuing old ones!!!). I will work hard, and hopefully it will bear fruitful results.

As I kick things into high gear, however, I would very much appreciate you guys supporting me on Patreon if you can. I want to get back to making 4 or more updates per month, but I won't be able to handle that much plus a day-job.

In any case, I will continue to write from now on as much as I can, and I can't thank you all enough for reading.

Have a pleasant evening, and I hope you enjoy my newest stories as I create them! =D
