Many of us here understand what it's like to be on active duty and separate. I separated at the 15 year point, came back in 2 years later, and did 29 years total. I got it.

There's a ton already posted here, other sites, and in books. Some people here may be willing to re type all that was already written in past posts. However, you've got 2 years... and I'm guessing you know how to use the search function.
