Melanie, I think it's a calling for some. My son is on his 3rd enlistment. First time was for 2 years , then he re-upped for 4 and then for 6 years. My son came home on leave back in March and he was home maybe a week from Iraq when he told me he now understands why people volunteer to go back as soon as they come home. It is a hard life for family members. The constant stress and worries make it very difficult. I feel sorry for my dear D-I-L. She's an Army Brat herself but it doesn't make it any easier for her.
