Navy Plans Cancelled

by Aaron Brazell on October 27, 2004 · 14 comments

To those of you who know me and interact with me everyday, this news is no surprise.

About a week and a half ago, I called the Navy to inform them of my decision not to go into the Navy after all. As the day grew closer for me to go, the nagging sensation I had in my heart was that I should not follow through on the Navy plan. I had wanted to go in so it was regrettably that I called tolet them know. I have sold my house and done everything I could to prepare to go, but in the end, it was not the right thing.

As it stands, there may be some good opportunities for me with Northrop Grumman in the future and I will be looking at those.

To all my friends, family and readers who have supported me, I thank you. But I plan to stick around for awhile, including head in a new direction with my business. More will follow on that front at a later date.

Congrats and sorry. Hopefully this will lead to better things :)

Frankly, if I were in the same situation as some of the Muslims in Sri Lanka, I wouldn’t bite the hand that’s going to feed me for quite some time.

On the other hand…there are a few groups I’d rather starve than take assistance from, so maybe it’s not as simple as it looks from the outside.

Glad I could help :). Expect another article or two this week.

Off topic: might want to fix the “comment form on every page” phenomenon. I think you still have tabindex set for themm all at 1-5, so when I tab out of the “name” field it sends me to the “name” field in the next post’s comment form. Removing tabindex should solve the problem (though it might introduce others).

BTW, I’m using Minima Plus 1.0, just in case you were wondering. :)

I don’t like the .htaccess solution. I don’t know. It just doesn’t seem right. It’s like a President winning an election with 35% of the vote. He may win but it’s not really a great confidence booster.

I did however do as suggested in the first two threads and comment out the lines in wp-login.php.

We’ll see how it works.

Works now!

My resolution, by the way, is 1024 X 768.
