You don’t understand my relief as soon as J-none said “But not forever”

[@michaelmcdonald2005]

I wonder if it means he'll be coming back to VoicePlay after he's finished with his service, or if he'll just start appearing in videos again (not as a main member).

Two baris and a tenor? That's pretty rough, guys. There are people that still miss Tony to this day, I think you're still trying to find a replacement for Earl, and now J's joining the Navy? Best of luck to you guys. And thank you, J, for coming to join the armed forces.

If I'd known he was taking a leave of absence I would have stopped and fanboyed a "God, I love your work, I appreciate you so much.
