Have you ever heard the proverb about how you grow a tree for only ten years, but you have to grow men over a hundred?

I guess not then. In English it means that human progress is tied with education and that you have to nurture those skills and talents over time for the betterment of everyone. Which is why I've brought myself here.

There is a time to say goodbye to the military and lead a quieter life, like others I know. Because you can't stay in that kind of environment forever. I loved studying when I was in university and returning the favour is probably the best to do. Plus there will be new people to meet and new technologies to develop. It's a really conducive atmosphere to learning, collaboration - oh.

Really, there's nothing for me to lose. I like having the free time too. Makes it easier to catch up on reading.

Not just computers and such... we look at data collected on the battle field and optimise it, manipulate it and generally do fun things.

... Well, I find it fun anyway!

It sounds at the very least very different. That in itself is exciting. I can't wait~.

I look forward to seeing you in class then... Peach, was it? I'm sure you'll enjoy it if you have an open mind for these things.

But of course. I never turn down the opportunity to explore completely new concepts.
