Well, I am currently deployed in Iraq and have served in the US Army for 8 years. I am under 1 year and am having a hard time deciding to re-enlist or get out?
This has been my only job since I got out of high school, so I dont have the experiance with the "civilian" work force.
My decsion to get out is because of this "war on terror" and the fact that this may not be my only tour in Iraq? This is my 2nd tour in the middle east and the uncertainty of coming back fustrates me. It has been a tour that I will never forget... I have seen 4 fellow soliders dead of an IED blast and I lost a soldier to an EFP not too long ago...
I dont want to see another tour like this again.
The only thing that keeps me wanting to re-enlist is the benefits and medical care for my wife and family. Plus, the fact that I will only have 12 more years until I can retire.
This is the hardest decision I will have to make so far in my life.
Thank you and God bless our troops.
