What do you absolutely miss about being in the military for those who have departed active duty? I'm sure the powers to be will convert this to something else...but whatever. God forbid, I come up with something similar! [~385188:Capt Marty Hogan] [~563704:LTC Stephen Ford] [~780368:MAJ Stephen Conway] [~138758:COL Mikel Burroughs] [~32600:SGT David A.

Military camaraderie is in a category all its own. I've worked in civilian law enforcement all my adult life, and I am very active with my high school grad class. Stil, none of the social fraternity engendered by those two environments compares to that of the military brotherhood. Not for me, at least.

I worked 30+ years in LE, mostly on small specialized details. Despite the danger and closeness of the working environment, it still didn't come close to the camaraderie that I experienced in the military.

So to scratch that itch, I went back in on the Guard/Reserve side. Despite the deployments and other negatives, I don't regret my decision one bit.
