My wife is a Vet and I’m retiring in 207 days (but who’s counting 😂) she spent 4 years in and got out, I’ve gone the full 20, so our opinions differ vastly, based on where we were and how much time we spent in, but all in all, we both enjoyed our time and if we could do it over, we both would, and as she stated, she would have probably stayed in the full 20, but at the time, we had started a family and she decided she wouldn’t be able to leave our kids, so she opted to get out.
Why would it be awkward? Everyone is different even if their circumstances are the same. I think the military is not for me and I describe it as if a hippie had to work a corporate 9-5 job. While someone else who is made to work a 9-5 corporate job might love it the hippie might not.
