Thank you!..for your service & your generosity! - MissAmericaSings 280.1 #735 6:56PM
Just want to say thanks for all that served. What a special RAK! very meaning, thanks! - RapunzalK 180.1 #1862 8:58PM
You say almost done, but it never really leaves you. Went in at 17 (yes, my mom had to sign), and stayed in 11 years. Been out 19 years, and the Army is still there. Just became a part of my nature. Thanks for serving.enjoy being a civilian. - Sugarbuzz 50.4 #3754 9:25PM
yeah, been in the service for 4yrs and 5 months right now. i have a 5yrs contract, and i still can't decide if i should re-enlist. There are a lot of factors to consider (mostly it is medical stuff). - otilegna 880.3 #102 9:57PM
I wish I had an answer. Somedays, I wish I would have stayed in, others I'm glad I'm out. My Army job didn't convert to civilian world, so I had to go to school. Kind of hard. I love my job now, but it wasn't easy. It was hard to get acclimated to living with "non" military. Missed the camaraderie that military has. "We" understand. I had to learn how to fit in. There is no right or wrong choice. Consequences, good and bad, for staying in and getting out. Just be sure of the choice, and you still will look back and wonder if you made the right one. Somehow, it all works out. - Sugarbuzz 50.4 #3754 10:16PM
Thank you @Sugarbuzz for the knowledge/counsel/advice :) (i want to become a CM when i turn to civilian world, it is fun to work at Disney, i guess). - otilegna 880.3 #102 10:24PM
you are welcome. I have such a deep gratitude for all men and women serving..past ..present..future. It chokes me up to see someone in their uniform, but I always thank them, eyes full of tears. - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1802.8 #42 10:22PM
Please add me. Active Army 11 years, hubs was 6 years. Daughter served 4 in the Navy, and both sons still serving in the Navy. One is returning from deployment next month, the other is on sub duty.

Ah, thanks guys. We are a proud military family. It is really an honor for us to have served. So many people have their ways of serving. Police, fire, rescue, RN, teachers, Social workers, and on. I think it is the combination of all our desires to serve that really make us a great place to live. Despite our differences, we somehow manage to care for others. - Sugarbuzz 50.4 #3754 9:20PM

He is at the state. He is on an island that I've seen pics and its really beautiful and he agrees but it's very secluded so its very lonely for him.
