We are coming up on 6 months since Jeff ETS'ed and I thought that I would like civi life by now or at least be adjusted to it, well I was wrong. I still miss it everyday. Some days are worse than other sometimes it's just a twinge of pain remembering my Army life and some days it results in full on meltdown mode.
Jeff seems to be adjusting fine, he misses his buddies and sometimes he even misses his job, but for the most part he's all good. So tell me why is it that he can adjust to civi life better than I can? He was the one who was trained, he was the one who went to war, he was the one who was a Soldier 24/7 and he can just let it go so easy. Is there something I'm missing?
Maybe he can let it go because he remembers how horrible it was to be in Iraq? Don't get me wrong I am thankful beyond words that I don't have to go through another deployment, but that is such a small part of Army life.
The Army really is like a family you go through things with your Army family that nobody else will ever understand. You make bonds with people that last a lifetime, no matter the distance or time you always know that if you need anything they are there for you.
I know that I have been whining and complaining about this in my blogs for what seems like forever, but I have to vent it somewhere right? I just feel lost since Jeff and I aren't going through the same thing. Well here's to hoping that the next 6 months are better than the last.
