[QUOTE="sniper85, post: 15189650, member: 137998"] I agree. I spent time on a LRS or LRPS(for you older gents.) And when I got out I was still kind of lost. I was in the Infantry and I never play that military card on anything. I hold that stuff very close to my heart. A few yrs past and my wife and I had our son. On 12/24/12 I was arrested and they wanted to give me 22yrs in prison. I was somehow released on ROR....? And I spent the next 3 yrs going through Hell. We lived in a run down trailer with a bees nest underneath it and the place was filled with roaches. It was dirty, it was ungodly and it just plain sucked. I never lost a job in the 3 yrs. I was making $11. hr paying bills and trying to put food in our mouths, clothes and be a father and a husband. Working 16 hr days ..etc... But I was persistent and never gave up, I looked at my life one day and said, "Chad, it's time to man the **** up!" So, I found a machine shop and bugged them for months and finally got a job at a pay cut to $10 hrly but if I learned the job I would get a raise to $16. hrly.
