My thought life has always been I am not going to quit! I will take my frustration and put it in my work ethic. This has impacted my military career my taking my haters and making them my motivators.

Hello CPT Davis.

I may be out of touch but found some interesting reintegration concepts online.

Warmest Regards, Sandy

Ma'am,

I think the best thing I have ever done to overcome adversity is simply to accept help. A great deal of my problems come from my pride and wanting to prove I can do things on my own. Yet the greatest opportunities and relief have come from talking to people in a position to help me. My family, friends, and leadership do not always know that I am struggling so they cannot help. When I open up, then I have an abundance of resources wanting to assist me.

Even knowing this I still try and struggle through adversity on my own. My pride can only give in so much...
