Great topic and interesting discussion! Butch's #8 (everyone who joins becomes an infantryman) was on my mind as the episode progressed, but you all got there. There are a ton of opportunities in the army besides being a trigger-puller. Regarding myth #1 (having a family in the military), I'd add that the community bonds built in the military are far more durable than anything I've experienced in the civilian sector. Those bonds extend beyond the Servicemember themselves, and encompass the bonds built by their family with other military families. Those bonds commonly survive moves and the passage of time.

You nailed it! The connections seem to never fade from my experiences too. Thank you for your service!

I will get to keep my M249 para SAW. That will never happen.

ROFL, nope! You don't get a free SAW for enlisting 😂
