If called upon in the future, and you could choose without any repercussions, would you serve again in an all out conventional war?

Yes, without hesitation. I had ETS'd after Desert Storm, I volunteered almost 10 years later after 9/11 to go active again. If needed again and they would take me, I would gladly go back active as long as i can physically complete the mission.

SGT Joseph Gunderson All they would need to do is call-loudly, since my hearing is shot.

The Army would have to be pretty desperate to offer me a chance to go back in. But yes, I would take it.

No I would not. I am proud that I served, but that time has past. I am content to serve the Army as a civilian employee. I am much better in that role than I was as a Soldier.

That depends on the situation. If I had the choice to go fight another war that had no direct bearing on my loved ones back home, I'd probably pass. But if American lives (civilians) were actually being threatened, along with our freedom, how could I not?

That's a hard question to answer. I'm currently serving the Marine Corps in the exact same capacity as I was when I was wearing the uniform. The only difference is now I'm not bogged down by all the other stuff like PowerPoint classes, annual training, fiscal year training, green side training, etc.

I love the uniform and everything about the Marine Corps. But I also love the family I've created since I left. I'm not sure I could risk an extended separation from my family when I am currently doing the exact same thing I was doing while wearing the uniform.
