I know a few of those people. Now in their late 40s early 50s they went to college, raised a family, lived the civilian life but are now wondering where life has pased them by.
They have had no excitment, no thrills, just everyday life. Para-sailing at Cancun is not the same as making a N/CE jump onto a short DZ. Taking a cruise and blowing some bubbles on a reef is not the same as hanging onto the outside of a nuke sub. Climbing the rock wall at the county fair is not the same as dragging yourself up a rock face way out in the middle of nowhere.
I tell the young guys and gals I run into to join up. Any service. 30 years from now they will look back and be glad they did.
Welcome
