It's odd though. For several years after boot camp, I had dreams where I tried to pose as a civilian and rejoin the USMC just so I could do boot camp all over again. I can't explain it, but I know others have had the same experiences. One thing for sure, when I hear civilians at work or elsewhere talking about being pushed to their limits by things minor in comparison, I think that they have no idea what their limits are, because they have never really come close to their real limits. I feel more equipped to handle tough situations now because it's never as tough as what I recall getting through in the USMC.
