    I had my fun (6 years and a 11 month extension of fun) but I'm happy to be out.

    Did get my Bachelors degree practically free though.

    I just separated a little bit ago. I wonder if there is a group here for vets? I wouldn't say that I have let myself go, but I have enjoyed a bit of a break. I also finished my BS for nearly free, just paid for books. :)

    I was in the Army for about 5 years; stationed at Fort Sill and Grafenwoehr Germany. Had the pleasure of being in Desert Storm/Shield.

    Probably should have title the forum name Military Vets Unit or something like that.

    There is also this recently formed group, but not many people in it.

    I was in the Navy for 10 1/2 years. Separated almost two years ago. I wouldn't say I have packed it on but I have some weight I need to lose. I also got my bachelors for almost no money. Can't beat that GI Bill. I am now using it for some certifications. The Navy was great to me and I miss it sometimes but I just couldn't do the separation anymore.

    I was in the Marine Corps from 2000-2004 and was stationed in Okinawa and San Diego. My husband was in for 8 years and went to Iraq in 2003. We are both out now and trying to lose weight.
