As far as the ‘easy way out’ per say, some people love living on the edge, and taking risks, and sometimes unnecessary risks in life, but there is nothing wrong with trying to make your life easier for yourself. My gosh, you have been through what I would believe to be the most intense training anyone could ever imagine, being in the Service. So if you want to take things easier now a days with you being out of the Service, by all means do so. You deserve it. 🙂 But just to make you aware, that sometimes what we want out of life, we do need to take some risks and not the easy way out. I believe if you follow your heart in what you want to do with the rest of your life, whatever career that may be, you will succeed at it.

What ever choice you make in your life, if it’s the easy way out, or charging through the hard stuff, it doesn’t make you less of a person if you take the easy way out. Only if that’s what you truly want. I like what Will Smith said in “Pursuit of Happyness”…He said, “If you want something in life, go get it. Period.” That movie is not only a true story, and not only a great movie, but it has a great message out there for everyone.

I think you will be just fine. Just choose something from your heart, and Go Get It. 🙂 Keep positive, and open minded, and you will achieve greatness! Good luck to you. PS: As a person who greatly appreciates any one who serves our Country, I want to Thank You for taking the time to do so. 🙂 God Bless You!
