Thanks for saying like that. Recruiters really get a bad rap most of the time.
On topic: First of all, my thanks to you and your husband. I will agree that it is a very rewarding job. Serving in the Army was hands down one of the best jobs that I have had in my 31 years. After 8 years I gained a few "brothers from another mother".
As I'm sure you know, he'll need a lot of support from you. My wife is one of the biggest reasons that I got to enjoy 8 years in. Edit: cavscout really nailed this part BTW.
All the best to both of you!
I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear
