[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 4002334, member: 35036"] I checked off yes, but its kind of a hard call for me. My time in the military has left me with mental and physical issues that I have to live with the rest of my life, and could very well shorten my life. Combine that with seeing how things have ended up, I have some reservations on doing it all over again. But, last year when I visited Camp Lejeune, and saw that MARSOC Gunny skating away from work, getting a coffee at the gas station and yelling at someone for walking in the grass 2 blocks down, I realized that I could have been him. Mid to late 30s, finishing up the last 2 or 3 reenlistments before retiring. That would be a really great place to be right now. There were a lot of really fun/neat/fulfilling things that came with serving, and life was relatively easy. I didn't see it that way when I was young, immature, and finishing up my first enlistment though. If things had gone differently, and I wasn't dealing with the stuff I had been, I likely would have re-enlisted, and maybe put in my 20 years. I think that next enlistment would have gotten me to where I needed to be maturity wise. [/QUOTE]
