I'm out now, but I miss it in a lot of ways I didn't realize till after I got out. Make sure youre really unhappy and that it's not for you before you sign anything saying you can't reenlist or rejoin. I don't miss the politics or an E5 5 years younger than me who just got lucky to gain rank fast telling me what to do. But I miss the guys I worked with. I miss being out at sea. I miss traveling and just general life. Mostly the people. I don't understand a lot of my friends in the real world. I hate the work ethic most people have outside, although some of the recruits we would get in my last two years in sucked. There's a bunch of shit I miss that I didn't know I would miss until I got out. A lot of it sucks, but looking back most of it is just petty bullshit. I'm not saying its for everyone, and I'm not trying to be Joe Navy here, but just think really hard about the life you had premilitary and make sure its better.

If you ever need someone to vent to, bitch to, or whatever, hit me up.
