I've been in the Army for way too long.  I'm tired of not being at home when my wife or kids need me.

I got a call yesterday from my daughter, she was crying really hard and I had trouble making out what she was saying.  Turns out she lost a close friend from high school in a freak accident.  He was on the upper level of a double decker bus, and the driver deviated from the normal route and drove under a bridge that was 3 feet too low.  It killed my daughter's friend and 3 other people.  It happened in Syracuse, NY.  Tragic.

So once again, something happened and I wasn't there for my family.  How the hell do you hug someone over the phone?  Can't do it.  Phone calls just don't cut it any more.  As soon as I get back home from Korea, I turning in my retirement paperwork.  Two deployments to central America, one to Haiti, one to Guam, two to Iraq, and now I'm 7 months into a year long unaccompanied stint in Korea.  Enough is enough.  The Army got twenty years out of me, and now it's time for me to focus on my family.

I need a new job.  Any suggestions?
