How are Vets doing post-military as a unique demographic?

One day at a time

After retiring, I worked a few small jobs, until I started working for my current company, as an Army Contractor overseas. Money is not too great, but the benefits are good. Live on a Tropical island in the middle of the Pacific, Tax free (well do pay taxes to the local government, but only 5%), live in the BQ, no car or car insurance, only bills I have is my phone and DSL bill and Credit card, and get 30 plus days a year in paid vacation.

I'm not even a spoke on the wheel just some small part of an atom of a spoke on the wheel. I did 6+1+1irr in the Guard. My perspective changed and I have had struggles that seem to always be present. I know others too have struggles. I share my own opinion and it's a double standard because I try and fall very behind with it, always strive to excel and maintain core values. Get an education and make a difference around you. If you can do that is a honorable trait.
