Why are the times in combat so long for some and so short for others? I have a picture before my last call and another one when I returned to my family and you can see that I gained about 5 years of age.

6 months in combat takes a toll on your psychological and physical appearance. Every time I come home my wife would ask me if I am okay and had to schedule me with a Psychologist although I think I didn't need one. But honestly, it does work.

The nature of our job has consequences on both our mental and physical health. It naturally causes us to age. Once you get back though you can still get back those years with skincare.

I have learned the importance of sunscreen. You should too. It saves our skin from aging.

I think I share the same sentiments with MIO1. The effect on our mental and physical health might have something to do with aging. Not to mention the stress and pressure.

Maybe some of them were discharged earlier because of injuries, illness and other health issues. I can definitely see myself aging too after a couple of years.

And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.

If you are on notice period and not doing work properly or on time then what can be the consequence ?
They cant put me on performance defaulters as I voluntarily resigned and also got good feedback from client.
The reason I resigned was the sh^^head manager and project.
He said I would be released from project soon and then on bench but after resigning he is saying you have to serve the NP n we cant release early.
This is only option left to get released from this sh^t place
