Missing being deployed?

It has been six years since my last deployment, and miss the sense of purpose of doing my job downrange.

Indeed I do!!!!! I deployed twice, then had to have ope heart surgery when I was 37. As a result, I am C-Coded which means no deployment. I hate it, and would love to deploy in a minute! I often feel guilty, like I am not doing my part.

That's what I miss waking up with a mission and a purpose. I remember when I didn't need to set an alarm to get up and go to work I looked forward to getting up. The bonds I built with brother and sister's in the suck are great
