DH is in the Naval Reserve-- joined after 9/11 in his mid thirties. He wanted to go active duty but is too old and has a career field (social worker) not much in demand in the active military. Instead, he's looking into civilian jobs serving the military in his field. We hope that works out because he regrets not going in active earlier, when he could have had a career.
I also have 2 nephews in the Army, one with the 1st Cav in Iraq, the other does something weird in Dahlonaga (I know I spelled that wrong) GA.
Thanks to all who serve/have served.
