In what ways did your personal values change after you left the military? Specifically, how did your priorities change to reflect values?

After I left the military, the values they had given me didn't necessarily align with my personal values. Selfless sacrifice, for example, wasn't quite as important as finding personal meaning and prioritizing my family. What ways have your values changed since you left?

I can say my personal values have not changed. While I was in I lived by the Army values because that was the job I had and the path I took. My personal values have never been changed on active or retired status. I am me in either situation and won't compromise myself.
