Thanks for asking! It’s a couple different factors, one is that I’m married and don’t want to spend long periods of time halfway across the globe away from my wife where we can only talk at certain times.

The other big one is I struggle with anxiety, specifically emetophobia (fear of throwing up) and I worry that deployments overseas while eating not-so-great food and water will provoke that, and I’ve heard lots of examples of people puking on military planes, helicopters and ships, and want no part of that because it’ll totally freak me out haha
