What would it be that makes you say I love the military but if the military ask me to do/go ____________,I would have to say no way and potentially get out.

Great question, MSG Martinis Butler. For me, I think the only thing that would fit in that blank would be an illegal order. And I'm sure that's true for everyone on RallyPoint (the illegal order part). Short of that, I signed up to do what's asked of me, and that's what I did. I can't think of anything (hardship, for example) that would cause me to give up my military career. And I admit that it could be I had a "charmed career," as I was never asked to do anything beyond my "breaking point." Or, it could be that my breaking point moved based on what was asked of me.

I don't think it is a SINGLE thing. It will be a simple as just "knowing" it is time to go.
