Yes. I wasn't even in very long but the civie complaints were so unbelievably annoying

My opinion is getting out the military aint tough, it's the fact that you're not having a plan and not setting yourself up to be after the military is what makes it tough! Sure, lifestyle changes and routines and missing work environment and can easily be adjusted with time just like how you were when you initially join and in boot camp. Having a plan when getting out of the military and setup for employment-wise or what you want to do is going to be setting the tone of your transition!!!! Also, file your damn VA disbility claims 180 days out!!! collect that disability!!! it's yours and you earn every dime of it for putting your body through it!. That VA disability is going to great additional income to your current job when you are separated!!

I can’t relate to my peers in the military. We get a long fine but they are people just like civilians. I can’t get wait to get out.

I agree I was on submarine duty and it’s a bunch of dorky people but I love those dorky people reflecting back and so will you… Probably more fit for a combat role I used to beg my captain to send me blue to green in combat I hated submarines while I was in, but I am proud as fuck that I chose that job because it is the most mentally difficult job and the navy and possibly the military in my opinion

Getting out for me was heaven. Working 20 hours a day out to Sea as an ABE was a nightmare. It took me two decades to rebuild my life almost. ​@@DestroyTheFleet

He said exactly how I feel. I’ve only been out for probably 28 days and I already feel this way but the last about four in a half years was the reserves. I got out of active duty in 2019 and even that was hard transitioning from full time service.

I know exactly what you are feeling

all veterans stay strong i know it aint easy just dont give up

It’s a tough time feeling like you still have the life long friends but lost the brotherhood. I’ve been out three months and being on your own two feet getting out is harder than your whole service career and getting in it feels like.

Alcohol is my battle buddy now.

When he said where do you go? that hit really hard. I have felt that and still do sometimes. But praise God for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Definitely gave me camaraderie. Join a church and then get into a small group. God bless 🇺🇸🇺🇸🤙🏻

I honestly can't wait to be a civillian again

It's also a Western culture, U can have a 2 to 5 years neighbors that doesn't know your name just your faces, That's Y many Military veterans move to places in southeast Asia like Philippines because they are being accepted their like their own. Reminder not all westerners are cold hearted Neighbors I've met quite too few but sadly the majority are. We honored our vets also foreign Vets war stories against terror and tyranny like heroes. As long as conscience is clear no war crimes committed. But some westerners look at em and talk 2 em like they're war criminals. They are disgusted Toxic kinds of people, in old days our warriors talk to their children and grandchildren their journey to encourage to fight on what's just and right. Now soldiers kept there mouth shut and sealed. After all the sacrifice of the soldiers in WW2 until today i felt like their sacrifices has been in vain after all this Woke-ism Gender-confusion, Racism... While our soldiers is unheard. God bless them❤

You probably don't feel as much connectivity when you transfer from one to the other.

This, but one command to another.. never the same.

If you are surviving as a civilian,you are the real hero! We didn't have to worry about a paying bills, so cheers to yall!

This is what it is all about sharing our story connecting and getting with fellow veterans to find that your purpose is still.

And I keep telling my parents this. Small towns, a church, small groups, God and a gym will definitely give you a sense of community and support. God bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🤙🏻

You have to take all the skills that you learned in the military and develop a new strength. Having no family, I have learned to develop strength and I try my best to develop a few connections.

What if you’re in the military and you still have “no connectivity” you’re outcasted and you just gotta deal with that shit on your own ??? 😂😅

It’s not that hard to make friends and find a community outside of the military lol

No it’s not, but it’s an unfamiliar territory, that’s all he is saying

I respect Mike and his amazing military career but something I never understood is why he had 18 years in and chose to get out, I’m not judging no man I don’t know on a person level, but if I had 18 years in the military I’d definitely stick those last 2 years out and get a pension.

Welcome to real lfe. It's called growing up

Big-time!!

I never understood that like how is it that the Military changes some people? I was born in a Military Family and my Sister is overseas with a Son I won’t be able to meet for a very long time unfortunately. Luckily I got to meet my Brother’s Kids even though he’s not in the Army anymore after the Asthma he got from serving in Afghanistan.

Amen brother

The opportunity doesn’t come to you, you have to go to it, life offers many choices, and resolving that you don’t like any of them and there’s nothing for you, sounds like giving up, or not wanting to be around in the first place… maybe for an understanding reason, but can’t be an excuse to not go out and try church, dojo, etc

I don’t know the people in the military either doesn’t matter where you go, life is what you make it and realities reality the same civilians work in the military racism shadiness favoritism, selfishness, hate goals, etc, are all the same as they are on the outside in the military except at the fact that you are controlled, you’re not in control of the direction of your life. You can become the best version of yourself and still be alone. Still have nobody whether it’s on the inside or outside. Of the military doesn’t matter whether you have money look good or are successful. But again at least on civilian side, you have control of yourself if you want to be in shape, go to the gym if you wanna work, go to work if you want to be more educated go to school is there more to it? Yes but it’s your choice to put the work in.

This dude is crazy.

I get the struggle. Every……damn……day

Military sucks, being a civilian is way better why? Freedom period.

Uh, they're called friends and family. You can also go out and talk to people, make connections.

Most of your friends and family learn to live without you especially when you're gone for years.. Most people you interact with after service just feels like you're talking to toddlers still trying to grow up. Tell me you didn't serve without telling me...

Most likely not that simple, I’d say it was the trauma bonding people have in the military.
