I'm sorry, what?! In my absence a lot has been going on. In or out of the Military? As of now we are out, but may get back in. I say we, but I mean my husband. He will be the one raising his hand and swearing in AGAIN. We have talked about this many many many times and it has never been taken off the table of possibilities. Why? We found ourselves asking this too. We kept going back to it, the benefits was one reason, but the boys and Paul are covered right now. It's not just that. It's not the pay. What is it?! It's become a part of who we are. Can it really be THAT simple? I guess so. It's not that simple to except that thou. That may not make sense to you, but it does to me and this is my blog. So there!
We have lived the civilian life and there is a piece of us missing. Military families can understand this in full. It's not just the benefits, it's the friends you make, the travel, and the excitement of where are we going to live next (even thou this can leave you unsure as well). We had some of the best time in the Military. There is a community that you don't find anywhere else. It's missed and it's who we are.
This may change and Paul may end up taking the job offer I didn't even mention, but we'll see. As for today this is the plan.
"Once a Marine Always a Marine" Whoever said this couldn't have been more right!
