I'm back! It was quite a trip. I rode with 3 other guys to Boise, where we stayed the night in a swanky hotel. Then we got up at 0500 and sat in a government building for 7 hours doing all sorts of stuff then we rode 3 hours back home.

But it was worth it, I'm a Marine Corps Poolee (Trainee) now, I ship out August of next year.

First and foremost, I salute our willingness to enter a job with so much tension and strife at the moment.

Second, My dad worked for the VA for over ten years and the first piece of advice I can give you is this: Get a full physical, hearing, vision, psych evaluation, MRI's, EVERYTHING! Put that in a safe deposit box or with a family member for safe keeping. When you get done with boot camp, get a second full evaluation, save that one too. Every time you get a chance, say every six months, get another evaluation done OUTSIDE of the military and send it to your safe place. They will alter files and films to avoid any evidence for disability ratings.

Third, Take the worst places on their list first: 3 mile island, antarctica, things like that. You wan to take the bad places now as a newbie so that your rotations will put you in better places instead of getting good places to start and ending your tour in the horrible places. If you want to go to europe (not reccomended with the international tensions) then you want to be stationed on the east coast for training. If you want to see the pacific and asia then you need to train in california and washington.

@knighthawk I appreciate the advice, but you don't really get to choose where your stationed in the USMC. They ask your top 3 requests, then they take that sheet with your requests and burn it and send you wherever they need you. And training wise, it depends on what side of the Mississippi river your on. So since I live in Idaho, I'm going to San Diego for Bootcamp. And I hope I get a chance to shoot some bad guys, if I wanted to be safe I would have joined the Air Force.

Lets see if we can all agree on a bit of a timeline, If we establish a zero point of the wife/mom dying 15 years ago, we put cameron as 1 year or less at time of loss. IF Charles is 62 now, that would have made him 47 when she was born and Montna would have been 23. A bit old I think for the story and the backgrounds, lets turn back his clock some. If Mo was 18 after Cam was born she would be 33 at widest margin. If we make Sam 15 and Mo 33, lets make Chuck 15/16 when dad died so the responsibility fell on his shoulders and he was able to handle it make him 18 when mom left so lets make him in the ballpark of 43 for a 10 year age gap between an 18 year old brother and an 8 year old sister when mom left.

Rage, that would make the driver 28.

That sounds good to me, I'll edit Mo to 33 years old and change some of the words to make it so defined.

I'll be 32 when I crashed into your wife's car, I'll then be in a coma for a few days/weeks, and then be in jail for about 7-10 years for drunk driving and vehicular homicide. Then within that time, I'll find a wife who makes me a better person, but I still have a nagging feeling of guilt for what I did. Cut to present day, when I'm 47, and I'll be driving back to Ashenvale in a RV with my 8 months pregnant wife, to apologize to the people whose lives I've ruined to finally cut off the old, bad me, and fully look forward to a new, better me.

Hmm, well we for sure know it's been 15 years since.
So he would be 13 then. That's pushing it- unless he drove without license.
Which would make it even worse! Lmfao.

@MissCapnCrunch@HaleyTheRandom Do either of you have any input on the house they lived in? It seems to be on the grounds of the hospital and graveyard, even though the church is down the hill. I think the hospital should me in the middle of town and the church closer to the graveyard.

How are going to handle Alex's "Monster Timer"? I would think that would be important to figure out, since my Guy's on a timer to not turn into a giant, angry ball of fire in the Otherworld.

It's something we can think about. Plot wise- like when you know your wife is dead or something like that you can be set off? When Ashenport changes for the first time, the monsters won't be right away, but slowly coming around to view. It wouldn't be until a bit later that things become more and more violent.

If Alex's wife died, he'd be permanently set off. That would be my Guy's point of no return. Her being in danger would speed the timer up really quick. Also, abandonment, imprisonment and violence would get the timer going.
