I just returned from a brief field problem with the line company I am assigned to as a medic. Going to the field while not my favorite thing to do reminded me that there are aspects of the job that I enjoy. I like being a medic. I like people depending on me. I like performing under pressure, racing the clock to save precious blood - to save life. It's a rush.
It's coming to a end though. I joined the Army to hit the "reset button". I wanted to do something fun, challenging, and meaningful. It wasn't always fun, but it was always challenging, and I think my overall contribution was meaningful. Two out of three isn't bad.
I won't go so far as to say I would never serve again. I think every American would benefit if everyone served, although I am against mandatory service. I think everyone should volunteer. I do know that I need to try to get out and accomplish other things. There are so many opportunities outside of military service.
I'm proud of what I did and am doing. I just want to do other things.
Internet Explorer sucks.
