Be cautious as not all those that want to “mentor” you have good intentions (be aware if it’s only to female marines and they get angry when you have other mentors)

I miss the camaraderie of my fellow soldiers. I also miss wearing the uniform, and the discipline. do not miss most of the "mentors" . all they seemed to care about was advancing their career.
