I would get home around 8 pm, exhausted. Barely enough time to workout quickly, eat, and sleep to do it all again the next day...It taught me a thing or two about self-discipline lol... no pain no gain bros.

Similar to the environment I worked in. 14 hours a day always "on". Not even the time to eat or come down from being on alert. Even when I forced myself to take a day off I worked from home. You know what you get for it. Missing your kids growing up and a lot of other family time misses. A little more money than average but that goes quickly when your used to being "high" figuratively or really.

Very true. It comes down to what you want your life to amount to- what you want your tombstone to say. "He worked hard"
Not for me, not anymore.

man, i retired back in 2011 and took a job contracting for 60 bucks an hour. slam housed busy at times then dead, i was teaching young and old warriors of course. lots of politics and bs involved and really good money. i dropped it after a few months because even though it was my passion i couldnt work around a bunch of pompus ass holes that made me dread every single day. so i took my retired life down to actually being retired and i have never looked back.

Yeah always under the gun. I felt like I was always holding my breath and could never let my guard down.
