I learned that I am not cut out to be a civilian. I am happier with my uniform on without showering for weeks and sleeping in a tree, covered in bug bites than I will ever be performing my duties at a civilian job. I like the military lifestyle, the brotherhood and friendship there in, and wish that I could do it all the time. I hate having to be an ass kissing salary man in "the real world" when I know the military is far more important than many of the tasks I have completed on this side of the fence.
The military is my home and my family and where I belong. Thats what I learned.

There are Pros and Cons to being a servicemember versus being a civilian. I've been leaning more toward the military way of life. That sense of belonging and being in the Brotherhood of Arms. There's nothing like it in the civilian world. At least, not that I have discovered.

The Free Masons have given me a similar sense of brotherhood and belonging, but even with all the charity work we accomplish, it does not give me the sense of purpose that I get from the military.

That list would go on forever. But the biggest thing I keep learning is I'm capable of far more than I think I am. I've been tossed in many tossed into many unknowns and came out on top. Just got to take a deep breath and go for it!

That's awesome! My list could go on forever as well. But If I were to narrow mine down to a few they would be:
1. Resiliency
2. Willpower
3. Strength of Character
4. Integrity
1. Resiliency

I learned that I was way tougher than I thought. And also that the military was the PERFECT place for my sense of humor.
