With my recent career change, divorce, and working on my degree I just seem to not find much time for hobbies.

Did some thinking the last couple days and realized I am just not happy with my new career, yeah its great money I am making more now than I would have ever made in the Army. That and I don't like not having the time to enjoy reading the boards here as well.

I found CA on my last deployment, spent many a nights lurking in chat meeting new people and making friends that even though I have never met I would not hesitate to throw a 5er into a box and mail half way across the world for. Something has to be said about the quality of the people that make this a home for so many yet make it feel personal to each and every member. From the Troop supporters to the MAW gangs, and yeah even the MASSHOLES.

Guess the reason I am writing this is everyone here is family to me, family that has helped me through the last almost 3 years of my life. If I could I would love to personally thank every one of the members here.

The other reason I am writing this is that well family always shares news and such with each other and well I have thought long and hard over my career change I have come to the decision that I will only be happy serving as a member of our Armed forces so today I made some calls to see about going back on active duty. I should have an answer within the next week as to if they will take me back on active duty.

Just wanted to share yet another change in the life of "Chief" and ask that all of you send some good mojo or whatever you choose that the Army says come home brother.

Thanks for reading my rants and light one up!

If for some strange reason the Army doesn't want you back, check out the other services. When I was in the Coast Guard a lot of the good helo pilots I knew were ex-Army.

Good advice. And I'm hearing lots of recruitment ads on the radio for the Coast Guard back here in Virginia.
