Life after the military

It consists of two choices going back to school or searching for a job. It's a big step because it'll basically feel like you're renewing your life. It's a big drastic change. Taking a break isn't a bad idea but it shouldn't be an option because depression can hit as soon as you start to feel your unemployed and your not doing anything with your life but sitting at home.

What is a Military Draft?

A military Draft is when you are obligated to enroll in the military and serve. It is not volunteer work and it usually happens at times of War when the country is in desperate measures. Young men are usually called first and after wards it's the young women.

"On July 3, 2005, Sgt. Johnson went to a park not far from his base in Germany to be initiated into the 'Gangster Disciples,' a notorious Chicago-based street gang. He was beaten by eight other soldiers in a "jump-in" - an initiation rite common to many gangs."

No one can really imagine that these men are out there getting themselves involved with gangs. But the truth is they are! Not all the men and women that join the force give up on the gang lives they had back at home. Some just bring it right along with them and spread it even more. Every soldier brings their own stories with them their own past and their own future. Not everyone goes in with the mentality "I'm here to save my country, to earn money, to look forward to a better future." There are millions of soldiers in the force. Meaning there are millions of different personalities and lives in general.
