I’m not kidding!
I’ve been out for five years, and have missed my job every single day I’ve not been doing it.
Does anyone have any tips? Anyone been through anything like this before?
I haven’t been through this particular situation, but I do know that I tend to remember different times of my life a bit more romantically then they actually may have been at the time.
But if you’ve missed it every single day for the last five years, then it sounds as if you probably belong in that job. If so, the questions I would try to find answers for now would be:
Has the service changed enough in the last five years that your position there would be fundamentally different from what you experienced? Would it still make you happy if it has changed?
At this point in your life, what would be the drawbacks to rejoining? Are they acceptable?
Related to the above question, is there anything else you would love to do, and would rejoining prevent that from happening?
Good luck whatever you choose.
Well, honestly, the only reason I got out in the first place is cause Womanservant Hecubus refused to marry me while I was in the service, being a career-minded woman.
Now that this is no longer an issue, I am free to rejoin at my leisure.
From what the recruiters said so far, they would want to put me right back into my old job, which I’m fine with. Granted, my peers from the past have advanced beyond where I would return, but hey, I’ve had a good run as a civilian.
The only drawback is that I’d miss the money I’m earning. A lot a lot. But then again, I’d be so much happier doing that job again, I really believe it would be worth it.
God, I hated the air force. I loathe the power the service has over you. EVIL!!
Re-up!!! Uncle Sam loves happy soldiers.
I too, have fond memories of my military service, but not enough to give up the stability and paycheck of being a civilian.
If you don’t mind the possibility of giving your life in the defense of Taiwan, or some other gawdawful place, go for it.
Well, fortunately for me, my specialty is one that keeps me in the backshop, working on fine tuning things instead of out carrying a rifle 
The downside is a potential one year tour in Korea, all by my lonesome.
A recruiter told you, eh? Well, you know the first rule in the military! "Get it in writing"
Go for it and good luck! I’ve often pondered it myself.
