I could, but there’s no future with it in my rate. Shore posts for GMs are basically a dead end, because we can’t be LE personnel at a station and we aren’t boat crew members. I could get an armory, but they only send people with no previous underway experience to those, and I’m already out of the running for that. Plus I’m pretty sure they’re getting rid of those.
On a ship, though, GMs are in charge of law enforcement plus all of the ship’s weapons systems. And I’m already familiar with two of those, so the chances of me being sent to a shore billet are pretty slim. Unless I get pregnant or seriously injured.
Erm. One eventuality is under your control, while the other has a certain level of randomness. And you've shown yourself to be on the upside of randomness, as a rule, although that can't last forever.
Oh, well. If God means you to go to Rome, you'll get there at the right time. I can take Tom to push OldTax-lady's wheelchair - he needs the exercise, so I hope it's all uphill. Pat probably can't go, no matter how much Latin he speaks, because she thinks he's bats.
