Title: Farewell + resigning
Post by: grand_chill on May 30, 2012, 07:08:21 am
G'day all,

Well my time has come to officially resign from the opticraft moderating team.

Recently I applied for the Australian Defence Force (Army) and as of today my application has been accepted. I wont go into detail about the process' for applying in-between date of application and the acceptance of application as there is a lot to talk about, but basically all that has been done and my final step to actually getting into the Army itself is an assessment day, which is next week on Thrusday, which includes a full medical examination, fitness test and job assessment interview. At the end of that day I will have confirmation of whether or not I have been accepted into the military. I have applied for a full time job as a Fitter Armament, which in general terms is a Gun Smith (modifying, maintaining and repairing a range of weapons) plus 2 second preference jobs.

It has been a good run with its fair share of ups and downs, more downs than i would have liked, but good none the less. I made some friends and was accepted into a community as a team member and I am extremely grateful for that.

In regards to the resigning part, i would like to be demoted to builder on the classic server in hopes that i may see you all sometime in the future.

Love Chill (Rori).  ;)

I didn't know you awfully well, but I'd still like to wish you the best of luck with your future (and your upcoming assessment day).

That sounds like a badass job btw:
modifying, maintaining and repairing a range of weapons

Good luck Grand_Chill to your army duties.
Hope you like the environment and to affort it for staying.
While I was in the army, I was cleaning my weapon. I didnt really face someone that had this duty. Maybe I didnt see him/her.

Anyway!
Take care.

Sounds like what you're talking about is simply field maintenance. What it appears chill would be doing is a more in-depth approach to cleaning, repais and modifications to the gun, that can't be done without specific extra training in that area.

I'm not sure if this would count as treason for me because I'm American, but good luck. May you be blessed in your job.

I hope I'm not breaking the law.

Australia is an ally of the US, I don't see how treason would even come into this situation :P.

It was good to work alongside you. There comes a time when we all have to make certain sacrifices to change directions

Hopefully we may be able to meet again

Until then... do your country proud.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes.

Thought i should update this seeing as i might be on a bit more now. Unfortunatley like every job interview you dont always get in on the first try. My application has been pushed back 6 months so it syncs with the new years intake of recruits.

So yeah, a bit bummed about that but not much you can do in these situations unfortunatley.

I would still like my operator rank removed please as i'd rather not have anyone expecting me to do something on the classic server when i probably wont go on it.

Well, see you on the SMP server hopefully.

Chill
