Had to look up parade gloves, aren’t those what every disney character wears?

Let me see… avoided joining the military so she could go out on her own to study archeology. I don’t know if this applies to Australia, but did you know the US military has archeologists? One of my cousins was part of an archeology team in I believe Afghanistan up until the humvee she was in got caught in a roadside bomb. Just an interesting little side note.

This is something I’ve always been curious about and made some assumptions of myself; would the four academies not offer civilian degrees alongside the Huntsman certifications? Oobleck has a doctorate, and he’s in the same rough age group as Taiyang who is at most 40. Unless he took time off from working as a Huntsmen to go through the rather extensive process it takes to earn that degree I’m not sure where he would have found the time.

At the very least I’d think Chloe would’ve been able to get her bachelors while in Atlas.

Is that a requirement to get a doctorate in archeology? A generic leaf. The type that all beginner artists draw when they want to draw a leaf.

Yes. Yes they are.

I was unaware of that. But I would like to point something out - the first year at the very least is spent learning how to Huntsman. If they did offer civilian courses alongside the HUntsman course study, it would be in Year 2 or 3 at the earliest, when they have proven that they can deal with the Huntsman side of things. It's similar to how you don't send a kid off to TAFE or Uni when they first start High School - you offer the off-campus courses in Year 11 and 12, when their required book learning from the school itself cuts down

Oobleck is still early-mid 30s. A doctorate in History takes 5-9 years according to one source I found, and 5-7 according to another part time, which is what anyone learning to be a Huntsman at the same time would be. No one is going to have a degree in History by the time they graduate a Huntsman Academy - it is literally impossible. That being said, it is possible for Oobleck to do it part time between missions, and to take smaller scale missions around examination time. He would take a bit longer, probably, which is how the 5-9 years comes into play. Even if he took it in his 2nd year, he'd still be 27 by the time he earnt that Doctorate.

Writing a book-length dissitation is a requirement for a PhD in History, yes.

Now that's out of the way, Imma just say she was a rush job in the last 2 days of the contest because the character I originally wanted to work on for it was being a bitch and refusing to be written. I expected plotholes and inconsistencies.

That being said, I do have an idea on the theme for next month. ^.^
