Is the reason why you joined the same reason why you serve?

We all joined for a reason, a baby on the way, a job lost, a family Service tradition or a true desire on serving the Country. After losing +80lbs, I joined because I wanted to prove myself how far I could go. BCT had a different meaning for me, being 31 and ex obese, just being there was an accomplishment. Once I passed the BCT, the pride in serving started growing and now I feel proud of wearing my ACU every day. My wife was complaining this morning about that she had to go to work and asked me, don't you want to stay home everyday? I realized that I like what I do, everyday. The question is, is still the reason why you joined the same reason you serve?
