What happened to you?

I'd also like to know this.

Thank you. I did it for the college money, and luckily it was during peacetime. Desert Storm and the Berlin Wall came down right after I got out. I have a few friends that were still in during that ****storm, and survived.

You didn't miss anything fun after the twin towers fell, believe me. Unless you like being uncomfortably warm, full of sand and dodging mortars and rockets.
I also did it for opportunity. Turned out great for me.
I honestly owe my life to the military. I wouldn't be here without those 6 years. The kind of person I was, I just needed it. I applaud those who never did, but looking back, I feel like there's a lot a person can take away from the experience and use it to their benefit.
DJ, 3 years is a long enough time. I thank you for your service as well. It's unfortunate that you couldn't gung ho any longer than that. To ask a personal question, what's the most important thing, in your opinion, that you learned from the military, DJ?
