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

I have accepted my sexuality and found peace with the long battle of wanting to be something not what I actually am. On one side I have a lot of pressure around me being gay and trying to get a PR and get out of India, on another side I have a lot financial issues. I’m trying so hard to focus on work and to meet the expected bar for my current role. But the office politics here is toxic and always putting me down. Just wondering whether things will get better ever.
