Army Life

There are many an occasion when I miss the Army life. Getting up at the ass crack of dawn, doing PT (physical training) with all of my friends. Going back to the barracks (occasionally racing back), and getting ready for the day. Formations, the chow hall, NCOs always smoking us, being in CRAZY good shape, being around people who I would take bullets for. All of my friends excluding a few are Army. They're scattered across the country, even the globe. I have a few friends in either Iraq or Afghanistan, a few in Germany, and several in Korea. I mean yeah, the National Guard is awesome. I get to be both a citizen and a soldier (3 Doors Down's song is awesome). It's the oldest branch of the military and I enjoy going to drill once a month. I get to travel on the government's dime once a  year for two weeks and regardless of what I may say, I have a blast. But still. Training was super fun, and I sometimes miss being on active status. Would I ever go back to being active? Probably not. But my husband might =)
