I did 13yrs as a SeaBee and got hurt on my last deployment so I was medically discharged. I was the only male of my generation (9 cousins) who felt the call. My father and all of his brothers served and felt it was a part of becoming a man and giving back to a country that treated us so well. I am not sure the country I sacrificed for still exists and I certainly would not recommend joining to any of my family members.
