Yep, that vet is me. I am in the unenviable position of now having to consider what direction the rest of my life is going to take post deployment. Let me give you the background intel. I am 35, married, and have two small children. I have worked jobs that make a meager living in the service industry for the last ten years. I have a bachelors degree in History, and have come to the conclusion that my aspiration for becoming a history professor just is no longer practical. Not with children who need their mom to be home with them and their father to produce a decent living and be able to move them out of the neighborhood they live in that is rapidly deteriorating into a cesspool. I need to make money, buy a house in the country, away from urban sprawl, and still be able to afford a new toy (firearm) now and again. After serving as an MP for a year in Sadr City working with and training the Iraqi Police, I have grown to enjoy the idea of working in the law enforcement setting, or something like that. I have been wracking my brain for months and thought I would turn it over to you guys for some ideas and maybe a little inspiration. I am still over here for another two months and then it will be back to SW Michigan.
I am willing to move to pursue this also, but it has to be to a state with favorable gun laws and CCW (Class III would be nice too). Please help!!!
