It is for some people and it isn't. Some people get PTSD, and some don't. Some people freak out when you see your battle buddy get blown up or shot. We all react differently. I think I came out of the whole thing in good shape.
My family didn't like that I was gone for 5 of my 6 years in the Army, but you do what you want and they will always love you. They just don't want to see you get hurt. That is understandable.
I now live back in my home town with them close by, and if you do your one contract, then it almost feels as if it never happened. (to me anyways.)
I took it for what it was worth to me. I grew up. took pieces i liked and grew off of that.
others come out and that is all they know. gung-ho stuff and have to readjust to civilian life.
It is all with what you do with what you learn. Just most of all know that you are doing a noble thing, and if your mind and heart is in the right place. You will love the service.
It is just not for everyone.
good luck to you!
