Do you miss the military?

Yep. I miss it. RP helps fill some of that void, but I still miss it.

I got medically retired in 92. and yes i miss the spirit of the CAV. but i am not sure of today's army under Obama. there are a lot of good people in the service its just the politics that we can do with out.

I transitioned out in 2008. I miss certain things about the military lifestyle. I miss working with my guys and everything but I don't miss the craziness. Would I still be in if I could, probably not. After 8.5 years and repeat deployments, I was missing my kids growing up and it was the best thing to get out.

I did it again.

I enlisted into the Army in 1994, served on active duty until 1998, then transitioned to the National Guard, then the IRR. I got out, all the way out, no IRR or service obligation in 2003.

In 2005, I reenlisted into the Army Reserve. I spent time in Iraq, then turned into an Officer and spent a little more time in the reserves.

At this point, I am back in the IRR. But... I miss it. There is something special about being in the military. I would do it over again. Some of my times in the military were some of the worst days in my life. But those days were surrounded by some of the best people, best jobs, and best days of my life. Some of my choices might be different, but I would go through the bad to get the good.

I miss it, but not sure how to characterize what I miss. I felt I part of something special, an organization that made a difference. I miss the camaraderie of being around my peers and fellow service members

CPL Clinton Britt......The work ethics in the civilian world is poor.

I miss the structure. I was badly injured, but I would have loved the chance to be an Army Ranger. I was working hard to get the opportunity, and now I will never have that. To answer your question, I miss it everyday. Thank God for "The Point!!!" At least I can still interact with all of you awesome soldiers. HOOAH!

I miss being part of the team that not only was the best in the world but was the best that has ever been. I miss being a part of the team that when ever something bad happened was the first on the scene. I don't miss being away from my family for months on end.

I've been out for more than 18 years now. I definitely miss the camaraderie, however, I don't miss the BS.

It's too late and I'm too old to go back in, but I am currently working as a civilian contractor supporting the Army Watercraft System.

I look back at all crap I had to go through and tell people I know now how it sucked ass.... I wouldn't change a minute of it if I could. I learned so many valuable lessons in the Corps that I take with me everywhere I go.

I take that back, the only thing I would change is I would of listened to my command and comrades and never have gotten married so young.
