Yes I was happy in the military. Had a great time. Met some off the best people of my life.

Most definitely yes! Not that it was always fun. Most of the frustrating experiences I had were not unique to the military. But being in the military service means a lot to me and is very rewarding!

I am very happy. This is just a stepping stone though. Vote #Coronado2030 ;)

Yes but I wish I was able to do another AFSC (MOS) instead. Got out to do something else and family reasons.

Sometimes, but not often. One of the reason EOSed this year. Too much time away from family and friends, far too much time at work, too much BS in the way of doing the job I signed up for.

The few good times weren't enough to make up for the far more prevalent shitty times.

I was very happy in the military. I planned to stay for 30. But, the after war cutbacks cut it to 14+.
