Just to let you all know

Well It's done. I handed in the letter and they were not to happy to see my leave but heck thats life. Tomorrow is my last day for good. Just have to fill out the last of the paperwork and I'm out. Man 7 years for the government and the military really was the most stressful shit I ever had to do. But I had a choice. I was right on the edge of my leave now or stay forever time frame. If I stayed I would have to stay for 14 more years. As I would have had my 20 on both sides of the house and that meant two pentions at 65. But I could not tell you the stress. I did 3 funerals this past weekend and that in itself is hard as hell. To fold a Flag and then have to give it to a widow or mom is just fucking nuts. It looks like one thing on TV but I shit you not, its hard as hell to hold back tears and portray what the greaving expects from you as a soldier. Well you all now know what I used to do for a living. I don't think I will do full time webmastering, maybe part time. I was making 65k a year and cant see that comming from the net right away. I would like to build to that point but Im sure it will take time. At this point my brother gave me his old lawn cutting equipment and I think I'm just going to do that for a little while. I can pull a living with it at my own pace. But anyway enough of my rambling. Jugg free and out!!..

I couldn't have handled that at all. Last Easter, my neighbor's nephew was killed in Iraq and that was one painful funeral. More sorrowful than any funeral that I've been to for my own family members thus far. I just stood there on the lawn of the national cemetary, holding my own little boy, and staring at that poor kid's parents. That really tore me apart. I think I nearly broke my son in half, I was holding him so tight.

When I was in the army, I was on funeral detail for a retired CSM. That was nothing. Very dry. Sad, but dry. But burying a young soldier who was just killed in combat is fucking horrible.

Now I understand what you were saying about your job being stressful.
