my dad retired a sergeant major from the marine corps. we lived at quantico and camp lejuene for ever, it seemed. my brother and sis still live at jacksonville and work at cherry point and camp lejuene. dad works at some base in charleston now
My stepson was in for a while and then decided civilian life wasn't for him, and went back in. Better career path - and he's just a warrior, that's all there is to it. He's done a lot of special training, likes that stuff.
Yup. I work for the army though so it's just like being a soldier but no uniform and no pt. I wish we had the pt though, I loved doing pt. An my military time counted dowager my civil service time
