I agree with you different people adjust to it differently. When I was in I was active duty ARMY, I was also a young single man so I enjoyed my time in. Now I'm married and have two kids. I know that the military would no longer be for me. I have seen most of my married battle buds get cheated on while we were in Iraq and lose sleep over missing their kids. And on the other hand there is a few that did great balancing a family in the Military.
