I separated because I wanted to get my degree in electronics engineering and I knew I wouldn't be able to do that while I was on active duty.

I served four years and was offered a bonus to reup. At this point our daughter was born at the hospital where I served and did not want a nomad's life

I separated to attend college. That was the only reason I enlisted (for the college fund). After graduation, I rejoined as an officer and stayed in until retirement, and then began a second career.

Join nearly 2 million former and current members of the US military, just like you.
