Hopefully one day in our human lives we can learn to live with one another, War sucks ass, which is also why I'm out in a month.

I remember when I had only one month left in the Army. My outprocessing took a month and there were rumours of impending stop-loss. I was worried until I got my discharge papers DDForm 214(?, it's been a while), and I was actually driving away from post! Goodluck to you FuZ! Got any civvy job lined up?
 
Everybody waiting on the DD214... I think i got the longest amount of time left on my contract out of 47R, I'm only halfway through my 5 years.
 
And I was a freshmen, 1st period science class. Our teacher rolled out the TV and we all sorta sat in silence watching.

There will always be differences between people. As others say,

Doob! Enjoy it while you're in it. You'll think a lot in the future why the heck you just didn't finish it, just another 15years and you'll be retired and still young.

OK. That sounds like a great plan. I saved up a whole month of vacation, and Army gave me ca$h for travel because I opted to arrange my own travel back to home-of-record (Hawaii). Instead of going home, I stayed in California. I was able to find a tech job within a month. Just got lucky I guess.

haha Just another 15 years! That sounds terrible. While I will admit the last 2 and a half years has gone by pretty quickly, it's just not the lifestyle I want to continue for such a huge chunk of my life. I do appreciate everything I've learned and experienced, things I never thought I could do, and things I never would have done if I hadn't joined. And I may miss it once I'm out, but you always miss everything and it was great fun in hindsight. I'm not miserable now either, I don't hate it. I will be happy to be free when the time comes.
