My friend was in the Army just got out recently. Did 2 tours overseas, last tour was 14 to 16 months. Active duty for 6 years. He wasn't very happy. He said he knew one guy that had been on five tours. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from joining up, but that's what my friend went through. He wasn't a soldier or anything like that, but still didn't enjoy 2 trips overseas in Iraq.
