    You have a beautiful daughter 💕 Another reason is if you do not like to stay in shape (exercise). Some branches workout more than others, do a lot more running, etc., but staying within your weight standards can be difficult for some.

      @@theofficialdaveharris8794 Well, like I said, I was eligible to retire at my 20 year mark, so I did. To be truthful, I had grown tired of all the restrictions and stuff, and it was time for a change. I had a job lined up prior to my retirement also. So, I retired, and went to work for two separate State level jobs over the year. They were both "desk jobs" and I was not happy, nor did I want to do this type of work for another 20 years. So, I sort of semi-retired in 2003. I started my own small business. After retirement, I paid off all my loans; house, cars, motorcycle, etc.... Now, I live a debt-free life and I'm very happy. Money is not everything. I enjoy the freedom more than the money. Plus, I just turned 59 years old last week. I'm growing old, time for relaxation! :) Take care!

    So to chime in my personal opinion and experience on rule #2:
    You are not ALWAYS gone and deploying. All that is simply based on YOUR job. Not every single job is deploy-worthy . I’m a pharmacy tech and for all 4 years, I haven’t deployed once or tdy. Mind you, this may differ from service to service but I just wanted to throw that out there so that people aren’t thinking that as soon as they join and secure a job, it’s not stop traveling and deploying and it’s not the case unless you have a career that warrants that.

    Some I'd add:
    You dislike commitments. This is my biggest reason for getting out. In the civilian world if you dislike your job you are free to quit whenever and they can't do anything about it. You can't do that in the military. If your squad leader is a power-tripping jerk, oh well you signed the contract.
    You dislike being tested constantly with your job on the line. While they aren't hard, the ACFT, qual ranges, HT/WT, etc. stress me out and I got tired of it. I only want to worry about my job.
    You have zero patience for stupid BS. The military is the master at wasting your time and frustrating you. That's why you are compensated so well after 20 years.
    You dislike people. The military is not a good fit for loners and introverts who want peace and quiet. Hate to say it, but many service members are loud obnoxious and cringey pain the butts.

  • @renebatsch2555
    @renebatsch2555 2 года назад +1

    What is the main reason not to join the military?
    Answer : .........LOVE !
    John 13 : 34 [ " ] I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another;
    just as I have loved you, you also love one another.
    35 By this all will know that you are my disciples
    - if you have love among yourselves."
    I think a Christian should not join the military and should get out if enlisted.
    Genesis 9:6 Anyone shedding man's blood, by man will his blood be shed,
    for in God's image He made man.
    Matthew 5 : 43 "You heard that it is said: 'You must love your neighbour and hate your enemy.'
    44 However, I say to you: Continue to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
    45 so that you may prove yourselves sons of your Father who is in the heavens,
    since he makes his sun rise on both the wicked and the good
    and makes it rain on both the righteous and unrighteous. ["]
    Matthew 26:52 Then Jesus said to him: "Return your sword to it's place,
    for all those who take up the sword will perish by the sword. ["]
    Romans 12 : 17 Return evil for evil to no one. Take into consideration what is fine from the viewpoint of all men.
    18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, be peaceable with all men.
    19 Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but yield to the wrath; for it is written:
    " ' Vengeance is mine; I will repay, ' says Jehovah."
    I also believe that one should not fight for any country. Satan is the ruler of this sick, twisted world and each country is part of his empire.
    Matthew 4 : 8,9. Again the devil took him along to an unusually high mountain
    and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
    And he said to him: "All these things I will give you if you fall down
    and do an act of worship to me.
    John 14 : 30 I will not speak to you much more,
    for the ruler of this world is coming,
    and he has no hold on me.
    1 John 5 : 19. We know we originate with God,
    but the whole world is laying in the power of the wicked one.
