everything will be ok. leaving the military is always a hard thing to do cause you are used to that life style and now you feel like you are just dumped back into the world. everything will be ok.

look for a job to pay the bills while you decide what feild you wanna go into.

dont rush anything brother it will all be ok. you know we are here for you.

Looking to call them this weekend before I sign. Looking at an initial 20% from the army then adjusted by the VA

That's all I got. Bobby is good people. Pick his brain while the opportunity is there.

If things work out, I like this road trip you speak of.

If they still say no because it is not approved then go to a civilian leader I.E. Congress or Senate. Now if you can not find that science or you are not a candidate for that surgery dont go making a big stir. You may not know but I am in similar shoes only at 15years. I have learned a lot so if you have questions please PM me.

Take you time and have a plan. Have the plan start with a nice smoke the day you get out and say good bye to your last step as the sun sets and prepare to say hello when the sun rises to a new path.

Thanks for this advice, it should prove helpful. Also, good luck with your own situation.

Bobby, ill get ahold of you soon. I need to get this paper work delt with first.
