I did my time and saw enough to last me a lifetime. I don't think I could do it all over again

No question about it, joining the Army saved my life and I'd gladly sign up again

I don't think you could convince me to go back

Of course yes, I am a better son, friend, and father thanks to the army, seeing what I saw and living what I lived you learn to value each person in your life, and discipline teaches you to love without harming.

Absolutely yes! I loved my time in the service, and it was some of the best years of my life. The camaraderie and brotherhood I found in the military is something I cherish and miss dearly.

No. I joined the military to serve my country, and I accomplished that goal. I don't think there is something else in the military for me after my serving
