Still kickin

On my drive home this morning I was think back over the weekend I had at work. It was slow, everyone I work with seems pretty good and I do not dread going to work. So many places I have worked in the past made me hate getting up in the morning and heading to work, but for the first time in a very long time I enjoy where I work.

There is more to working in the military than just doing your job. You get tasked to go here and there and additional duties are heaped upon you. Most people resent these types of things but some actually welcome these as a welcome change from the day to day routine. It gives you something new to do.

Many people look at deployments as a bad thing taking prople away from family, but some actually look forward to these breaks and have such respect for the job we do on deployment. Granted we are not on the front line sleeping in foxholes getting shot at. We take care of those in harms ways and it is a huge responsibility to bring the best care we can provide to those who risk the most.

I keep being warned not to be so eager to get out of the military if things do not go as I thought they would. I guess many people new to the military really hate their first duty assignment, but I have yet to feel that way.i am sure I will have bad days in the future where I question my decision to serve - however, it has not happened yet.
