Well over the last few months I have been thinking about many things. I have thought about my home life work and recreation. I have thought about the sacrifices that I have made and the ones that others have made for me. I have thought about friends gained and lost. Most of all I have thought about me and what is best for me. I have waxed and ( Read more... )

Pfft. "Crazy." Crazy is one of those words people throw around when they don't have any real arguments.

Do what makes you happy and screw the rest.

Thank you!!! I appreciate your support Dan!

Any time. I've spent my life being called "crazy" and mostly ending up fairly happy to totally happy with my decisions anyway.

Funny you're considering leaving as I'm considering entering.

Let me know when you plan on being in town...so I can make some plans for us.

No one can ever take away your 9 years of service. Be proud. You served us well. I was in for 8 years when I made the decision to leave the Army. It was a tough choice to make but I don't think I could have gone wrong either way. I just graduated college in May and things are looking up. Regardless your service is appreciated. Good luck!

Hey brother, good to see the post. How is the love life? :-) On the changes in direction, well to me it seems you are marching to your own drum. That is a good thing since you know the best beat for yourself. (no... not that you beat it best -lol).

On whatever decision you make.... peace be with you and thank you for your service.

Hey A,
How are things going for you? Oh, and the love life would only be better if you were in it! :-P" I think that this change is going to be good for me. I really have a passion for my new career and think that I will succeed. I just wish you could be here to help me along the way with your down to earth mind and easy thoughts!

Thanks for the response

Love ya Kiddo

Peace

Love you too bro.

I just came upon this post, are you still in the Navy now? We never did seem to cross paths at Balboa, but the offer still stands from one vet to another, if you need any help with anything, I hope you will let me know. The transition out of the Navy is harder than you might think. My email contact is ecmcdonald@pol.net
