Military people travel. A lot. Unfortunately, it’s usually for work, and there’s usually a sense of dread when boarding the plane because you’re on the way to somewhere… shall we say… less than desirable. Most people get all excited on the way to the airport, heading off to the beach, etc. You? Nope. You look like you’re on the way up the ramp to the guillotine.
Se la vie.
You do need to get some time to yourself, though. You really do. Yeah, I know the military is always on the clock, but you can’t be expected to never have a day off. That’s just ridiculous. Should you stay or should you go? The answer is easy: GO!!
