[QUOTE="SkidAce, post: 6605244, member: 7706"] I'm 51. It's a lot easier now to discuss D&D openly, but easier doesn't mean totally safe. In 1988, when I was in the military as an E2, my supervisor put me in for a certification that only E3 and above normally were allowed to work. I completed the training and only needed to take the test. My Flight Sgt saw some of my D&D notes next to my other papers in the Entry Control point I was working and asked about. When he found out it was D&D, my certification was cancelled, as I wasn't "reliable". Now I'm retired and work part time for fun, beer and gas money at Barnes and Noble. I can talk about D&D there, along with video games etc. But before I got that job (which is very stress free I might add), I wouldn't even consider mentioning my hobbies to the government services that wanted to hire me, or the corporate managers that offered stuff. It really depends on your environment, sadly. Some environments, its just not worth the hassle to mention, so you don't discuss it at work. That's just the way it is. Some you can. [/QUOTE]
