I enjoyed every minute, and only wish I hadn't been medically discharged and could have retired.Response by SrA Chris "Shadow" McGee made Aug 31 at 2016 2:55 PM2016-08-31T14:55:27-04:002016-08-31T14:55:27-04:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member1852416<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My feet are flatter.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 31 at 2016 2:56 PM2016-08-31T14:56:08-04:002016-08-31T14:56:08-04:00SFC George Smith1852584<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>most defiantly...Response by SFC George Smith made Aug 31 at 2016 3:47 PM2016-08-31T15:47:42-04:002016-08-31T15:47:42-04:00LTC Private RallyPoint Member1852843<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I had more time than money, so 22 years later I have 3 degrees, a license to practice Physical Therapy, a career of helping people and no idea what to wear when I'm not in uniform or wearing a cargo pants/shorts, shorts and a t-shirt.Response by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 31 at 2016 4:53 PM2016-08-31T16:53:39-04:002016-08-31T16:53:39-04:00Capt Daniel Goodman1852852<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Lol...how do I count the ways?

I should have stayed for another 14 or so. I miss it.Response by SGT Shawn Volkmann made Aug 31 at 2016 8:24 PM2016-08-31T20:24:55-04:002016-08-31T20:24:55-04:00PFC Private RallyPoint Member1853644<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I use to think too much and missed out on a lot of opportunities out of fear of failure. I still overthink shit here and there, but my fear of fucking up is little to none (...and its not that I'm taking random, uncalulated unnecessary risk) because I try harder and I care more about the shit I do (even the small things). I'm way more open to trying new shit that comes across me and I speak my mind a lot more.<br /><br />Most of it is on the inside.Response by PFC Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 31 at 2016 11:02 PM2016-08-31T23:02:14-04:002016-08-31T23:02:14-04:00SGT Patrick Reno1855457<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My time in the service made me who I am today. It taught me how to be confident in myself and how to be a leader. How to strive to always be better and fight for what I want.Response by SGT Patrick Reno made Sep 1 at 2016 3:40 PM2016-09-01T15:40:53-04:002016-09-01T15:40:53-04:00SMSgt Lawrence McCarter2986407<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My experience in the service helped get Me focused on what I wanted to do in life, set those goals and at least achieved most of them. Before that time in uniform I didn't know what i wanted t do and My Military job led to the same job as a civilian. The life experience I had in the Military did help make Me what I became and learned to take charge and how to manage other people.Response by SMSgt Lawrence McCarter made Oct 10 at 2017 9:07 AM2017-10-10T09:07:10-04:002017-10-10T09:07:10-04:00SSG Edward Tilton6879477<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I don’t recall having a life before I joined the Army at 17.
