When watching the news and realizing we could be heading back to war. I feel a sense of excitement and start to become eager to redeploy. I could choose to stay at home with my wife and beautiful daughter in our newly purchased home; but no I secretly want the military to say... SGT Jenkins back to Iraq you go. When will I feel enough is enough and it's the next mans turn?

I had what most people would call a "bad deployment" and I would beg borrow and steal for another go-round. I really don't think there is a cure.

I don't know that the "itch" ever really goes away. What makes sense logically doesn't always coincide with what is in your heart/gut.
Some fill the void with joining various law enforcement agencies, or firefighter/paramedic's, some become contractors and "redeploy" that way, and others find various jobs/adventures to fill the void, and of course some never do.
Eventually you will have to come to terms with it and reconcile with yourself that you did what you could when you had the chance.
I have taken my drive to provide "good medicine in bad places" to taking care of Veterans/soon to be Veterans.

I know exactly how you feel. I do not know the answer to this question though. I recently begged my unit to redeploy for a 3rd time but they had no mission for me. Can you say disappointed?
