why do family and close friends not want me back in the military?

Question

i have been out for almost two years. i miss it so much. i was infantry. i got paid to play with guns and blow shitttt up. i think i was most happy there. yeah i went to combat in iraq. but i lived. and i had a few close calls but who didnt? i hate civilian life. the stupidy of people rivals that of the military. good payin jobs are hard to find. and guess what i got paid crap there but enjoyed it more. so what should i do. i know im a single dad. and i know my kids need me. but no one gave me that as an excuse when i was gettin out. no one had an opinion either way. so whats the diference between now and then. i just feel lost here. i work off shore oil rigs so once again im gone anyways. yeah they pay ok but i dont have the since of duty and honor i used to have. can anyone help me here what should i do. i think i want to go back in. but im not eligable till aug. any ideas????

Answer 1

Baby, you are a soldier...heart and soul...and you should be proud. I am proud of who you are and what you did. If you want to do it again then I say go for it. The one reason that some wouldn't want you to go back in is because we don't want you hurt. The thought of life without you is unbearable. You cant please everyone and I say that if it made you happy then it is definitely a choice you should consider. I will stand behind your decision as I'm sure others will....and I will be proud of you no matter what.

Answer 2

I think waiting untill Augest is a good idea. Start seriously thinking about it in July; I don't know what the terms is.

Since I don't know how long this has been going on I don't know how to tell you what to do. Also don't know how much thought you've given to it.

Family is only so tight. You're a divorced, single dad.

Make your own choices. You only get to live this life once, money isn't everything.

Answer 3

you need to be where your heart is. if that is in the military then so be it.
it is a shame that you would have to leave Bobbie. but he will be ok, can you just sign up for two years at a time.
idk much about the military, but i thought that you can.

as you can see here there are alot of people who love you and will miss you. so when you get back they will still be here for you.

until then play war games... that might make you feel better.
sorry that i don't have better answers for you . but know that you always have us. and we will miss you too.
u r my cali <):)... did that get u in trouble?????? LOL

Answer 4

GET BACK INTO THE MILITARY. Just think about what your going to do with Bobby. you've been wanting to get back into the military for over a year now....so DO IT


why aren't you eligable until August?

Answer 5

i think that if you want to go in that's great you were a lot happier then anyways you just have to put your ducks in a row like were are you going to put bobby is he going with you is he staying with your mother are you going to do a temp guardianship with someone ? and when your at work is he going to be living with you full-time do you have daycare setup for him there are lots of things to consider but if being in the military makes you happy then go for it

Answer 6

I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD DO WHAT EVER MAKES YOU HAPPY, AN IF THAT MEANS YOU WANT TO RE-ENLIST THEN DO IT... YEAH THAT WOULD MEAN TIME AWAY FROM YOUR CHILDREN AND FRIENDS BUT DONT DO SOMETHING THAT DOESNT MAKE YOU HAPPY... AND I HAVE ALWAYS REALIZED EVER SINCE I HAVE KNOWN YOU THAT THE MILITARY MAKES YOU HAPPY....

AND I SUPPORT THE DECISION THAT YOU MAKE!!!
