YES, I would consider them nightmares and I have them every week it seems.

YES!

Nope. No way. Couldn't be that👀😬

It doesn’t happen often, but the reenlistment dream does happen. And it scares the crap out me

It’s gotten better with time but definitely yes. Back to being a lowly enlisted grunt in such nightmares.

nope, only a few random clips of BCT tracer action but that’s died down now after 20+ yrs. No deployments tho as a reserve REMF

I occasionally will have a dream where i come off the bus, fresh into the BCT shark tank, trying to explain to my drill sergeants that I’m already a commissioned officer and did this 20 years ago, who then tell me to shut up and push

I have a very similar dream!

Hasn’t happened in awhile but every now and then I have a dream that I’ve been recalled and am about to do a PT test. Given that I have an injured knee and have gained weight in the decade or so since getting out, it’s usually an unpleasant one.

Not to get morbid, and after years of therapy I do mean this in jest, but it beats the trapped inside a burning MRAP dream any day.

Yes.

Nope but I still wake up sometimes thinking I’m late for formation and do the putting on my clothes and boots mad dash for the front door and as soon as I open it realize it’s zero dark thirty Sunday morning and I’ve been discharged since 1997. I will happens once or twice a year. Used to happen several times a month. Was never late though. No idea what triggers that.

Beats the reoccurring burning MRAP one I used to have for sure.

Am I having a flashback or did you post this twice?

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
