The western states are pretty awesome until you cross the rockies and then it's just straight fuckin trash until you hit the eastern seaboard.

Florida has its moments but it gets overshadowed by the crazy poo poo.

When I got out of AD, it was glorious and I didn't regret it for a second.

There's something about staying in the military past 30 that really changes people, I think. Like if you get out when you're relatively young, the military is just yet another chapter of your life. Your brain has the neuroplasticity to adapt back to a different way of life. You've spent the majority of your life as a civilian, and so you're just returning to normal, right?

But once you've stayed in past a certain point, it's like the point of no return. It's not just a chapter of your life, it IS your life. You carry it like a turtle carries its shell on its back. Like if you become a lawyer, you're a military guy-turned-lawyer, not just a lawyer who had a stint in the military.

Idk, I just think if you ever want to mentally separate yourself from this stuff for the rest of your life, you have to get out by 30, 35 tops.
