When I was in Ft. Benning, I got to meet some of the troops from the 3rd Infantry Division which recently came back from Iraq.
When I was getting my medical discharge, I seen a shitload of those 3rd Infantry Division guys getting chapter 13s and Entry Level Separations, and CMHS profiles..After all the war they've seen. I even spoke to some of them, many which have gone through divources- being away from home for a long time, with cheating wives. haha... The military life is not a career, it's a lifestyle.
In about 6 months after my surgery I can come back in... I would like nothing more than to blast away at some Hadji's and earn my combat infantryman's badge.
