I'm genuinely afraid to leave the army
Joined when I was 18. Never had any financial, responsible, or social life before the Army.
Retention just told me they forgot to slot my Korea assignment. I was supposed to leave in 30 days. Now they're pushing it back until I reenlist because my window just opened. This is the second time they've done this, I was supposed to leave last April. I just told them not to worry about it because I'm not reenlisting after this. I've had my fun of the Army and been everywhere. I can't do it anymore. There's nothing left for me here and I've been milked for every drop of motivation I had. I fell for the carrot dangling on the stick too many times, but idk where to go now.
I guess all of this is to say, I don't know how to be a civilian. Everything I've done has been in the Army. I got nowhere else to go but back where I started. Moving forward seems like such a risk, but full-time college seems to be the next step for me. I just don't wanna end up some beggar on the street.
I'll have a cheeseburger and a boot to the head cuz I need it
