First off, holy hell that last comment was absolutely obliterated by auto-correct and brain-farts. I am so sorry you had to suffer that before I noticed and made some desperately needed edits, lol.

…and yeah military was definitely a risk, that I honestly didn’t expect to end well, but at that point, “what’s the worst that could happen?” didn’t really phase me, cuz I was actively planning for the worst to happen.

I got super lucky.
