Good laugh, I can relate to a lot of that. For me the military is what you make it. I have 8+ years in and there have been some really sucky times..REALLY!! (crew chief) But there have been some really good ones too. Its given me a lot and Im thankfull for that. Its not for everyone. Im currently retraining into the firefighter side and wouldn't trade it to be a civilian, no way.

How about you try staying out of trouble and just doing your damn job. It's the military bro.. not cradle school. I'm sure you'll be missed when you don't re-up.

However, I owe alot to the Corps. It's made me who I am now. But I also believe I paid that crap back. They need not to be calling me back.

Good list lots of those apply to everyone here I bet. I traded in my chevrons and rocker last year after 8 years, been loving every minute of it. And for all of you who decide the military isnt for you please dont waste your GI Bill and go to school!
