FMZhellraiser, You have the right attitude.

1983 prostreet,
I can see what you mean, I wanted to get out when I was in the Army but there is not too many days that go by that I don’t have a flash back to all of the good times when I was in. I can remember one time I got sunburned really bad, I went to the beach with a girl friend cloudy day but the sun was behind the clouds. My First Sergeant seen me in the latrine, he said to me “if you go to sick call I’ll give you an article 15”. I said you got to be kidding, he said for "destroying Government property". I didn’t try to get help I just suffered it out. My nephew is getting close to retiring from the Army, my niece’s husband has 12 years in he is going for 20. The time goes so fast looking back but if you could stay you would be guaranteed a check each month and you could start another career. By the time you get out times may be better but at least now you would have health care for you, and your family for another 15 years if you decide to stay in. Good luck with your decision.


HOTRODPAINT said it right. I think we all think we would like to have more money but sometimes money brings stress, worries, and sometimes strife with family.

I'm satisfied if I can just pay my bills, live a modest life style, I don't need much, just a few hot rods, and customs.
