@thedude yeah man I suggest doing it. Just go for it! Who wants to settle into being another civi chained by the various debt foisted upon us. Take up a life adventure and never look back. I leave in Sept to backpack for a year and then I'm heading back to Aubange!

@lucyfuhr that was before I started growing it out lol pretty much left it go when I got home last year. I shaved the beard off once summer started but it's coming back

Whoa...the dude outside the Fort barely looks like he could be a distant relative of yours.
I like the facial hair but I like your future aspirations even more.
Best of luck!

Broke the old man's heart when I went Army. But the Navy wouldn't guarantee me FMF Corpsman slot, and the Army guaranteed me a line Medic slot, so I took it..

@The dude, yeah I was a grunt in the army. Missed military life needed an adventure...civilian life if boring and understimulating

Dude.
I was a USMC brat. Lejeune..Quantico..Cherry Point. Stumps and 2 years on the island.

@ironhand not sure really. I've been out for a few years and initially I was in an ADA Battery out of Suffolk VA before I transferred. After I left Eco Co. I was bad at keeping in touch my battle buddies...did some reconnecting recently tho...still the name Pratt sounds familiar but it isn't really an uncommon one either

Hooah/Oorrah to you both!

They really dont give any reason for discharging other than a generic reason. My guess is that "class" for training got filled and there was no more space. Luckily the cut off age is 40 so I got ten years lol

@Ronin8510...I look at facial hair and long hair in the same way. It's not for all men but it looks good on you.
thedude · 36-40, M

thedude · 36-40, M

Ironhand · 51-55, M
