			<description>Hi everyone, my name is Lisa and I work for Capital Meats.  My co-worker and I were chatting at lunch and I mentioned how much I missed my husband.  Her husband is in the military as well and also on active duty.  She told me about this site and decided to sign up.

Hoping to maybe chat with other women in my situation for support.  My co-worker is nice but we hardly get to talk because we work in different departments.</description>

			<title>can I change my re-4 code?</title>
			<link>http://www.military-quotes.com/forum/can-change-my-re-4-a-t79665.html</link>
			<pubDate>Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:57:57 GMT</pubDate>
			<description>I know you guys know what an re-4 means but my story is a little different. I was a contracted Navy S.E.A.L. They even pulled me to go early cause of my scores on the physical standpoint, and when I was in bootcamp I learned of problems at home that caused me to drop from the program. Right then I felt I had made a mistake. I then became an AO and was stationed to the Nimitz. From then on I was in pure misery. It was nothing like what I signed up for. I was very active everyday until I got to the ship. I had huge problems with depression since I dropped from the seals and was now hating life on the ship. Everyone knows that Navy S.E.A.L.S. are dedicated, motivated individuals and thats what I should have done. I ended up talking with a chaplain of my problems and asked to get out of the military. In order to get me out asap, they gave me an honorable discharge with a KFV and a reenlistment code of an re-4. My evals were near perfect and I never got into trouble. I want back in more than anything and become my dream of a Navy S.E.A.L..Is it possible to get back in? I have all the information on me including my DD form 214, a C.O. letter and my final eval. Somethings not right. There is nothing wrong with me medically or physically. I was nominated for sailor of the quarter and got all my qualifications done before everyone else. I just hated being on a ship when I should have been in BUDS. I know how hard the training is and I was fully prepared to go in. I was rated from the recruiters and a few officers at 97% positive to make it through BUDS training. Could I get it changed? and How?</description>

			<description><![CDATA[Someone I work with recommended this forum to me. I'm just a young guy (21) though so I will probably act more like a fly on the wall or a sponge and soak up all the knowledge I can here than post a lot.

What to say about me. I am in the Army National Guard. I'm a PFC that works as an MP. It took a solid two years of thinking about joining the army before I finally mustered up enough courage to do it, but it has been the best thing I have done with my life by far. I am going to deploy for the first time very soon and I am pretty excited/nervous about it. I want to have the experience, but at the same time I want the world back home to pause. I know that this will never happen, but a guy can dream, right? 

If I like what I experience during the deployment, I may become a career soldier, but I won't have to worry about that decision for at least a few more years.

That's enough of that now. I look forward to learning from you all. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello all...
My name is Sarah. I stumbled on this site while looking for new cadences. 
 
My fiance Ricky and I are both Drill Instructors for the New York Department of Corrections. We teach inmates how to do everything one would learn in regular boot camp (aside from the weapons and UDT)... marching, D&C, PT, cadence calling, uniform upkeep, teamwork, integrity, responsibility, time management, etc. We are considered 'para-military'... so, not the real thing, but we have a deep respect and appreciation for all of you who are serving our country. We consider you all heros and pray for your safety. 
 
My fiance has initiated a program at our facility where he briefs each new platoon on the reality of military service, as told to him by our friend and neighbor Stephen (who is in active duty in Iraq). Each member of the platoon then writes a letter to Stephen expressing their thoughts on what they heard... Stephen reads these letters and then passes them along to the rest of his company. 
 
:bravo: You all have inspired more people than you know. Most of the inmates admit in their letters that they've always taken their freedom for granted and that they've been selfish with their lives. They express a new understanding of honor, responsibility, integrity, respect and thankfulness (and we're talking about everything from gang-bangers and drug dealers to rapists and murderers). 
 
Thank you all & God bless.
