I've returned to school under the G.I. Bill and am getting ready to wrap up my 1st Semester. Realizing I spent 19 years in the military and walk around on a campus with ROTC and Guardsmen and reservists in uniform on a campus that is a collage of color and non-uniformity. I see hajibs and burqas being sported by many of the women on campus. I study with youngsters with no motivation or experience. I talk with intellectuals that have never gotten their hands dirty, either through labor or field or combat. What one thing really makes/made the return to civilian education awkward for you?

The application. It is very difficult to keep listening to the same questions over and over. As a former Drill Sergeant I hate to repeat myself. In the past it was very difficult for me to find the time to complete assignments because of the demanding jobs that I was assigned and I was a single parent for years.
