I tried my hand at it for a bit years ago with the army but it wasn't for me as I was no longer the overly eager world explorer fresh out of college. Instead, I'm someone with a lot more patience for the unknown and little to know patience for things that are absolute. All in all I just grew tired and decidedly sought out things in which I could continue to be the ever so eager explorer.
Also, it has changed a lot and the old guard in which I was a part of is no longer. I can't relate to how the newer, younger, kinder gentler military is. Somehow things got lost in translation along the way and people gathered the belief that they were entitled or owed something. I'm not a fan of that way of life or mentality and know when to pick and chose my battles.
I like your answer. I admire those who serve their country to protect and fight for it. But I'm not a fan of that way of life. I like my freedom and I enjoy the kind of lifestyle that I have. I can do more, I just need to work harder like you. D
Don't ever look at is as working harder. Instead, just look at it as though you are ceasing every opportunity. In life a lot of people will achieve something and then they are happy for a while. Why stop long enough to feel awesome about something that happened when you can do that same thing everyday ;).
