<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think we have both drank the koolaid a time or two haha! I definitely would not have stayed in the Army for over 24 years (so far) if there wasn't something I loved about it. There are moments when I question my sanity for sure. But all in all, it has been a great ride. And even as I wind down my last 2 years to retirement, I will not let up. I am having the best time of my life being a 1SG in an awesome unit. This is definitely the way to finish it out!!
