Well kinda. I am currently on IRR and today I talked to a prior service recruiter about getting with a reserve unit. I got to tell you I never thought I would ever be back in a Marine Corps. uniform and if you had told me I would be doing this 2-3 years ago I would have laughed in your face. I guess once you get a few years more mature you actually appreciate things a little more. I am so excited about this, I have a great civilian job and this is exactly what I have been wanting for a long time. I always loved being in the Corps. but I let too many negative people around me influence me into getting out. Well getting out and not transitioning into a reserve unit at least. I have a meeting to go talk with the unit  First Sergeant this week and doo all the paperwork on shit. Anyone else do this. Oh yea thanks to The Bald Monk for your help.

I did 6 yrs active army Infantry, thought the same thing as you, and hated it towards the end, I transferred to a reserve unit so I wouldn't get called back on IRR. I'm actually enjoying it now though, and I'm thinking about sticking around for awhile.

Yea, I made the mistake of allowing other to bring me down even though I loved it deep down inside. I'm anxious to talk with the 1stSgt this week. Hopefully my Tatts don't DQ me though.
