@waddups thank you for your response.
I will graduate from high school in june. I have no option of staying or taking more than one gap year. The NZAGA will come and draft me the minute I hit 18 unless I am in college, and I can’t exit the country in the second half of my 17th year.
Also, I am sure @JHS was joking about my involvement with them. I replied seriously because I wanted to use this admittedly minor tribune to correct the misconceptions of any non Iranian who might be reading this.
Had I known that jhs went to Yale, I would have probably said something like " if I wanted to join a strong cult drunk on something, I would have applied to Yale." (This is a quite lame joke, and is not meant to offend. Sorry, I couldn’t resist.)
@blue147 thank you for the compliment.
